Card or Apple Pay.

There’s also the banking app which makes tracking everything super easy.

As for ease of spending, a little willpower and common sense is all that’s needed.

The only time I generally would use cash would be buying a second hand car privately, or something similar. Something costing a fairly large amount.

It’s much easier for someone to accept a lower offer than their asking price if you put £6k down in cash in front of them.

"Never carry cash unless I really need to. Cards work nearly everywhere now (except last night )

No sense in carrying money. Any large purchases can be done via bank transfer too.

Mabey but for a large purchases a big heep of cash dus look better and makes you think do you realey want it you do know banks will only let you draw out a certan amount of money at a time. You have to give mine notice if you want to draw out more than 5k and then they want to know where its going

Depends on wot account you got.

My account wos made befor cards came out so i got mor freedom "

so you can just walk in your bank and draw out 5k?

To be fair, we’re not interested what the cash looks like, when we bought our last car we did a bank transfer because the dealership would only accept £3k a day in cash due to money laundering regulations. It would have taken a lot of days at £3k a day to pay for our new car!

My hubby is a trained banker (not UK) and has been telling me since I meet him to hold cash.

Reason being that he says 99percent of UK banks run systems from the 70's on which more stuff has been add on.

He was consulted by a high street name months ago about their software change and his opinion was "you must be barking".

They still went ahead and they crashed..so I believe him more and more that to have cash is a need.

I never have cash on me! I have a purse but I keep it at home with any business cards etc that I may need in the future.

I always keep my bank card with me though and pay for absolutely everything on card. Food, water, taxis, shopping, clothing etc etc. Even the vending machines at work have contactless option but doesn't accept notes.

I wonder if,in the old days when cash was being introduced,there were people who didn't like or trust the idea.After all,a tenner is only a note promising to hand over some gold when requested,it has no intrinsic value.

"I doesnt trust that there new fangled cash money,give me a good old fashioned gold bar any day,so handy for bashing muggers on the head and you'll always hear it if you drop it".

Personally,that's why I like credit cards.It's a vague promise to hand over the gold at some time,or not if I dont feel like it.Much more flexible than actual money....You can't spend what you don't have.Well,actually,yes you can.

I’d be lost if I couldn’t shop online. I don’t know how you do it

I do keep some cash on me just Incase and if things cost under £5 I’ll pay in cash but apart from that it’s always by card! I’ve been scammed online but my bank was very good and I got it back no problem! I also don’t keep all my money in the account that I use my card for so if they did wipe out my account they wouldn’t get all my money!

When you go in the bank to get real money out, do you not use your card then? If I take money out from inside the bank I have to use my card to get it???

I don’t necessarily think it’s a good thing to not use a card. If I use cash, I tend to forget to budget it. Plus, there’s just no point walking around London with cash.

Have a bank account to use for cash spending money. I always have £20 cash in my purse for ice cream.

I agree London is different and much easier to get around with just cards.
