I hate cash. There are places in Belgium where you gotta pay to pee/ooo (no joke). I don’t carry cash nor ID. Only my Apple Watch & maybe my phone.

Now that I’m in the USA it’s so much easier. Contactless everywhere. No need to carry cash or coins.

Plus it makes sure that people pay their dues. I pay my taxes, but the local taco guy around the corner who only accepts cash surely doesn’t. With electronic payments there is transparency.
