one way to keep cash alive is USE IT
I use cash way more frequently than most people. However, at this point, a grocer trip wipes out, if it doesn’t surpass, my withdrawal limit. They made life unaffordable and then blame us for not using cash anymore. I use cash for most smaller things. But I also use a cash back cc to earn money by using it. I always pay off my balance before any interest accrues. But I like the privacy of money.
The point is, they are the ones making cash unusable. A lot of places don’t even accept it anymore. I’m a big cash proponent, but we also have to accept that they are trying to kill it.
