Are you still using cash?

I've had the same six bucks in my wallet since like January, so no.
I'd rather use a credit card (that I pay off in full every month) to get rewards.

I carry $100 on me in case I'm somewhere and card machines go down when I need fuel and a meal. Otherwise I've been card only for the last 15+ years
I still use it, as I need it for a few things that don't accept credit/debt cards. But it's not my primary means of payment anymore.
I've been using a contactless credit card for 95% of payments since about 2016. Before then I'd use card via chip & pin for most things still, but cash for fast food as it was a faff to type in my pin to pay for that kind of thing when there's people queuing behind you.
Haven't used cash primarily since 2003, as that's when signing for card payments (which I hated doing as I normally was carrying a ton of stuff) was dying out and chip & pin came in here.
I always keep some cash in my wallet in case I need a taxi or a tip or something. Don't want to use cards for that.

I'm like 90% credit card. I like to visit a lot of mom and pop restaurants for take out that don't accept credit cards though, and for those I make sure to always keep cash on hand.
No reason not to charge on a card whenever possible, rewards cash back is free money. I've been saving my rewards for almost 2 years now and it's basically going to pay for my PS5 almost completely.

My debit card is literally only used to pull out cash for weed or to use at scummy gas stations that charge .10 more per gallon if you use a credit card.
I pretty much only spend cash when I travel or if I'm going somewhere that only takes cash. I used to only have cash before when going out with a group to make splitting things easier, but with Venmo that is a non issue nowadays.
In person purchases?
Cash 0%
Card 80%
Phone 20%
I don't go to that many stores and the ones I do don't accept Google Pay. I think every major grocery store or Dept. store like Walmart or Target also don't accept it. It would be nice to go contactless but they either want to use their own proprietary system or none at all 😒

No. I haven't used cash in so long that I don't even know what the current bills looks like, after they received a makeover a few years ago.
I keep a 20$ a 5, 10 and 5 ones for tipping and pocket change. Other than that no, unless I'm buying weed.
Today was the first day I actually used cash, but it was to tip the guy at my local car wash. Nearly all the places around me have switched to contactless/card, especially with the coin shortage.
Nope. Last time I used cash was maybe 2 years ago when I bought something from a friend. Last time I used cash in a store was in 2016 when I went to Japan. Generally, if a store is cash only, I'll just go somewhere else.
I keep cash in my wallet just in case I'm ever in a situation where I need to tip someone a quick $1-$2. Other than that never
Hell naw, we in 2020. I've been forced to carry singles for my trips into New Hampshire though for tolls.
I recently tipped a cargo freight driver for helping us unload a very large shipment, and then a few days later bought a burrito at a food truck that only accepts cash.
I dunno. Obviously it's not that common but it's still useful. I try to keep some on hand just in case.

Rarely. If I go out I tend to put coin in my pocket just in case. But I avoid it on the whole. Other than the fact it's a pain to carry around and fiddle on with, it's very dirty. Especially in this day and age.
Before C19 I was using it for certain restaurants, coffee shops, and my barber. These are the types of places in my city that only take cash. Most other places I use my bank CC via Apple Wallet.
No, but we need cash to keep existing. Otherwise, central banks can will impose NIRP to force people to spend their savings to help the economy.
Not in my corner of Europe, my dude.
That's one of the quickest tickets to getting voted out.
Right now, no. Any cash I get gets sanitized and immediately put into my bank account. The vast majority of my purchases are done via Samsung Pay. The only time I actually use my card is if I have to hand someone my card.
Last year I was regularly using cash.
