That's really cool as an alternative, that said I do genuinely enjoy the fact I don't need to use cash.

I'm pretty privacy conscious but gotta say - even with all the data scraping that no doubt happens - the convenience is very worth it. At the very least if the majority of your transactions are NFC/contactless/android pay/whatever. I don't buy much stuff online so most of mine are in person and not having to remember a card and/or cash each time I go out to the store is so nice.

I honestly don't remember the last time I carried around either cash or a debit/credit card and idk what would have to happen to make me consider it.
