Well, I'm going against the grain here, I hate having to get cash out to pay for something.
I'm not so paranoid that I would expect the Banks/Government/Evil Overlords to want to track my every transaction and use it against me. Anyway there are so many other things that can do that.
I find the convenience of using cards (or only my phone, pretty much always now) far outweighs any concern over what anyone wants to know about what I buy from Woolies.
I spent a few years in Europe, in the Netherlands I didn't need cash at all, so rarely had any in my wallet. In neighboring Germany however, cash is still king, I had to walk 4 km round trip once, in the pouring rain, to pay for a pizza as the restaurant did not take cards at all. Then again, they are quite protective about privacy in Germany, for obvious reasons.
Of course there's always the issue of forgery...
Cheers
Stu
