Nowadays people are using less cash and switching over to e-wallets. Cash is better than digital money.

By using cash you always know exactly how much money you’re carrying. Just take your wallet out and check. 

Also, digital payments rely too much on other  uncertain factors. What if your phone dies? How are you going to pay for your trip to the mall? Or, what if your internet connection is bad? None of this would happen with cash.

Digital money also brings us closer to a digital future, away from reality. You own your money. On your phone, you can’t be sure.

Cash keeps you untracked as well. Digital payments go into a system and are tracked, with your name and details. Cash doesn’t have a name attached to it. The only name attached to my payments is Benjamin.

If you get into a pickle, you might want some cash. If you get in a bind, cash you’ll need, you might find.
