(With Most) cell phones you can turn off the GPS that would be used to track your location and movements however with the advent of crash detection and automatic emergency services notifications that works against you.

Umm, no. Have you ever wondered why you can no longer remove your battery? Ever wonder why you can unplug some audio gear and plug it in two years or more later and it remembers your favorite stations or CD tracks?

Super capacitors, turn your phone off they still use your battery, battery dead, the super cap uses its reserves for hours if not days.
If you think turning off your GPS stops all tracking, you're sadly mistaken. Turning off GPS does not stop all GPS tracking, just YOUR personal tracking. So you know just in case your wife picks up your phone to see where you've been and your girlfriend's location 😬

Thinking the same thing. I’m inextricably linked to my debit card. I just got back from two weeks in England where I didn’t even bother to exchange dollars for pounds. I just went electronic everywhere. They’ve been light years ahead with that sort of thing since the 90s.

You want to get really worked up. They use facial recognition when you pay at the register in the supermarket. I don’t know why, but get used to the idea, it’s just a matter of time.

They already do that here.
It's to protect the merchant, that way you can't say that somebody stole your debit card and you didn't ring up $400 worth of groceries at the local Walmart. They'll flash your face up on the video screen and say wow this looks just like you Is it not? LoL

I did the same thing in Europe way back in 2006.

Fundamental Change of America...mmm-mmm-mmmmmm.

Yes, the Digi-Currency thing is coming by EU design. Recall The Administration stated a vision for a monetary system similar to the EU for the North AmerIcas. We all know what a wonderful, prosperous and success the EU transition has become.

Buy too much gasoline…card denied. Take too much $ from the ATM…card denied. Buying a side of beef….card denied.
Cash is good, but when they start to limit how much can be withdrawn, expect there won’t be much of any in circulation. They can always and eventually will change the face of paper money to make George, Abe, Hamilton and the all other colonial manly-mens’ worthless and obsolete.
Have you noticed in some stores a sign by the register…”Due to coin shortage, please pay by Credit or Debit”.
We won’t need cash in the future, mom & pops are dwindling, downtowns are shrinking, more and more everything is being bought online and delivered.
Seems there’s a big rush for microchips, and that’s not merely for your leisure and convenience items. Every small retailer will be required to buy into electronic payment and accounting software devices, likely linked to the IRS, et al. They’ve already set limits ($600) on how much tax-free eBay/PayPal/etc sales and monies you can accept w/o getting a year end 1099.

Who says taxation with representation when they resort to another lame duck Omnibus Bill being forced through.


While navigating these systemic shifts, it is more important than ever to choose financial tools that prioritize your autonomy, which is why many forward-thinking businesses are turning to instant settlement payments for their remarkable transparency, security, and the freedom of having immediate access to your own funds without unnecessary delays.

Hi, I have a question. In shops are they actually rounding cash totals to the nearest nickel now or are they just putting up signs refusing to take paper money at all? Thanks
 
My dentist won't take cash and it twists my tail to no end.

Welcome to the forum.

Lately I've noticed more and more "card only" signs at cash registers. I can't remember the last time I paid cash and got change. 🤔


Thank you for your indulgence,

I see why some retailers don't take cash is because some of their employees don't have the common sense to make change without the cash registers telling them how much change to give back.
 
I very seldom use cash. About the only time is when I get a haircut. My barber only accepts checks or cash. And I'm not going to stand there like Old_Me for half an hour writing out a check. A very large gun store about a half hour from me offers a discount for using cash. Or maybe you could call it a 2-3% fee for using credit/debit cards. I keep one debit card with a small balance, less than $500 for online purchases, paying for fuel at the pump, going out to eat with the wife, etc. I keep another debit/checking account for more trusted purchases, and where my income checks are deposited. From that account I will do balance transfers to my other accounts, my wife's account, and my kids accounts. I also have a credit card for higher dollar purchases of things like appliances and for emergencies. I always make sure any purchases on the credit card are paid in full before the end of the billing cycle, to avoid interest charges. And last but not least, is a savings account.
