I’ve become a cashless guy. I use my debit card for everything. It’s so easy and you can track your spending online. It just makes sense. In fact, I can’t even remember the last time I had the paper stuff in my wallet. Except today.
Today I found myself with some cash money. I decided to use it to pay for my lunch at the Zaxby’s drive-thru. I give them a ten and they hand me back my change along with my food. Juggling the bag, drink, cash and coins, the change goes rolling onto the floorboard. I try to stuff the cash into my wallet and all my receipts come flying out. I drive away still trying to get my coins and almost wreck. I give up and throw the wallet on the seat next to me, dollar bills still hanging out, frustrated as heck.
So I wrote a short poem:
I hate cash.
It’s such a pain in the…ash.
Okay, so I’m not a good poet but you get my point. Am I alone here? Paper or plastic?

I am definitely a plastic person. Although I do like to keep a $10 or a $20 just in case I’m cought out guard with friends and we all have plastic. I just slam down that $10 and I’m done.

I used to be a plastic only kind of girl, but lately I’ve started returning to cash. I’ve also recently gone back to journaling in notebooks rather than on my laptop.
I guess I’m in kind of a “paper phase” if there is such a thing.

Im a little bit of both. Working at an Elementary School I always need cash for something whether it be donating to hoops for heart, buying girl scout cookies,or a “delicious” lunch from the cafeteria. Outside of work it is normally plastic.

Call me plastic man. I’ve been off of the green stuff since the late nineties.
