When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

Re: Cashless society
What about kids in all of this is this the end of the tooth fairy ? I don’t know what age kids get debt cards but I would have thought 16. My grandkids like to go to the shop & buy pop & sweets with money I’ve given them. We can’t go totally cashless if for no other reason for them.

As an example Nottingham Arena charges £7:50 for a pint of beer if you had to produce a £10 note you’d probably think twice about buying it but to flash a bit of plastic you probably don’t realise what you are spending.

Re: Cashless society
There's probably a degree of that at first until you get used to spending through contactless. But every time I spend, I get a notification on my phone telling me the price and the retailer. And mobile banking allows me to keep on top of what I've got and any spending. It just takes a bit of discipline in making sure you're using the apps at your disposal so you're not just spending without being aware of your overall finances, given that you never actually see the money itself.NottinghamWhite wrote:As an example Nottingham Arena charges £7:50 for a pint of beer if you had to produce a £10 note you’d probably think twice about buying it but to flash a bit of plastic you probably don’t realise what you are spending.
For me, contactless, and particularly mobile payments, are just a more secure way to pay. I've used an ATM once in the last five or six years, when I needed cash out, and on that single transaction, my card got skimmed, with someone then spending hundreds on Crocs shoes online. Lesson was learned then. Nobody's skimming my Apple Pay if it never has to touch anything and needs my face to activate it.
