So I am a lot closer to 60 than I like, but hey the only alternative is a lot worse. Day to day, I never use cash. The only time I use cash is if it is preferred. I go to a mom and pop (unfortunately the pop is unable to work anymore so it is just a Mom) dry cleaning place and the credit card fees hurts her bottom line. So I will make a point of having cash for her. I dislike that as I churn points like crazy, but I love how she treats my clothes so I get her cash. That is a weekly transaction. Pretty much all contractors (carpenters, electricians etc) prefer cash. Yeah I know why but I look the other way and get them cash depending on the size of the job. The last thing I had to have done along those lines was getting my roof repaired, I have a roofing guy I have used for years and that like 350 so I just paid him cash. That is maybe a once a year thing. Personally I find using cash to be a pain in the ass so I have been using plastic predominately for 25+ years.

    You could ask some of those guys how they prefer to be paid. My electrician likes Venmo and my house cleaner prefers Zelle. I can pay them instantly like with a credit card but they’re not hit with the fees
