How often do you use cash? Personally I do not like using debit cards etc for obvious security reasons so I try to use cash as much as I can. At least with cash, no one can cteal your identity.

If you use an ATM to get that cash, then that is certainly not the case as ATMs are the most common place that thieves use card readers to steal your debit card information. You are more likely to be safe using your card for purchases at a store then drawing cash out and using that instead. If you want cash the best thing to do is go into the bank and cash a check at the teller (which is what I do).

I use cash more often now then I used to (mostly because I don't work in an area where there is a high rate of muggings anymore), but I still prefer the convenience of a card, doubly so if they accept Google Pay since all I need to do is unlock my phone and hold it over the scanner.
