It makes me wonder, may mga tao pa ba that use cash exclusively pa rin?

i pay in cash, if i can.
i pay cash, when doing groceries.

i find it dangerous (to me!), if i can pay in a more convenient manner. kasi, mas ma-e-engganyo akong bumili at gumastos.
of course, buying cars, condoes, and real estate via cash, is a bit... arduous... i use MC...

majority of my peers and shoppers here use NFC. contactless payments with e-receipts...

It's true re nakakaenganyo gumastos, ewan ko magkano na balance ng card ko. They make it way too convenient to use a card. No need for signatures. Good thing my Auntie gave me a budget for shopping hehehe. Lagot lang if you lose your card kasi nobody even verifies it anymore, just insert the card sa machine lang. Sa Pilipinas kasi parang na ha hassle cashiers ang card

I changed my wallet to a small one yung lagayan na lng ng card. May cash pa ring dala pero small amount lang. Where I am kasi most of the transactions are done thru debit/credit card kahit maliliit na amount.

Agree na minsan napapagastos ka ng malaki kasi akala mo marami kang cash kasi puro card transaction pero malaki na rin pala ang bill ng credit card mo. Ang dami pang mga cashback or point system para maenganyo ka to use the CC.

i am reminded of an old story here in the phils.
to cashier: "bat mo tinanggap yung credit card! kitang kita naman sa picture sa card, na hindi yung may-ari ang gumagamit. malay mo kung 'nakaw yon!"

I didnt even know tsikot was back and running.

Randomly tried my tsikot app and it worked. Had given up all hope that the site would resurrect. Hehe.

I was able to access only in Dec 11 (after 2 weeks) through browser but others are able to access the browser since November. I think Tapatalk was restored a few days ago lang

It's alway better to have cash. Several 1K, 500 sa wallet. Puro bago yan para mabango wallet[emoji106] kumbaga buffer. Di naman mapapanis yang pera. Karamihan tanggap na ng bank transfer etc. kahit online seller.

Those hundreds, 50s na luma direcho sa bulsa para una gastusin. Sabi nga ni erpat e kung makabasag ka ng paso.....
