  • The Swedish band ABBA has been singing about "Money, Money, Money" for years. But if you try to buy a ticket to the pop group's museum exhibition in Stockholm with cash, you're out of luck; it's one of the increasing number of establishments that has stopped accepting cash. Mark Phillips looks at how Sweden is becoming a cashless society, where transactions are all done with smartphones and devices, and where last year only 13% of Swedes could remember using coins or bills for a recent purchase.

    I rarely used cash but I do carry cash just in case the store's credit card system goes down and are temporary only accepting cash. Its happen to me several times at different stores. I also some authentic Japanese restaurants only accept cash. I know the restaurant is authentic because I know the family is Japanese and immigrated to the states to open their restaurant. Another reason to carry cash or multiple credit cards is in case someone skims your credit card info and commits frauds the credit card company will disable your card and send you a new one which takes time to arrive.

    I just have one problem with this and that is these cashless payments are charged by their operators and so you pay for each payment you make which means you pay more than what the actual price of the goods is and you spend more overall, those admin fees will go up with inflation as was the case with my bank, first it was free to pay cashless than after a few years they stared charging and it's only when I saw my bank chargers that I realized how much more I was spending per month just by going cashless🤤😟😢
    PS the fees have been going up each year since they started charging so it costs more each year just like the atm but now you use the atm and pay the atm fees every time at each and every till/paypoint you use.
