Richard,
Don't forget your Philly trip, sometimes these JA's wait awhile.
As much as I hate CC's, the best advice I ever had was never let anyone have direct access to a checking account. To this date I've never used a ATM to get or deposit cash.

I thought about that but I don't remember using it there. I took a lot of cash with me, wasn't exactly spending a lot either, just meals.snuffy wrote:Richard,

Paper money wont be gone in the foreseeable future. One on one deals require it, and those that shun the whole digital thing. I dread the day if they ever pull that crap. On the bright side, it would make it harder on drug dealers, but they always find a way.

If its like paypal, or any other way that it can be refunded its not very good. Credit card payments are even easier to get swindled. plus theres still a small segment of society that wants nothing to do with all this technology and they arent all Amish. Cash is cash, it doesnt bounce as long as its not counterfeit.bambooboy wrote:there is an ad for gold dealer on radio that claims a few european countries have already went all digital.can be done using Square or from a smart phone for 1 on 1 purchases like a flea market.
I cant say that it will never happen, but I hope its many years.

As long as there are girls willing to pull dollars from my mouth with their boobs I will continue to need cash. PayPal just ruins the atmosphere.

Yuck, and I'm not talking about the boobs either. Any idea where that money has been? I recall a story where they had a study that determined a very high percentage of bills had cocaine residue.gaw wrote:As long as there are girls willing to pull dollars from my mouth with their boobs I will continue to need cash.

90%, but the coke isn't something to worry about. There are other things worse than coke.

Just to note my credit card somehow got hacked about a month ago. I had about $250 in charges from iTunes. I shut off the card and notified the issuer, charges were credited and I have a new card now.
"We are declaring war on cash," said Andy Gerlt, a spokesman for Visa.
