I use cash for purchases because it is a widely accepted form of payment and it is a tangible form of money that I can physically hold. Cash transactions can be fast and convenient, and I don't require access to a bank account or a credit card. Additionally, some people may prefer using cash because it helps them budget and control their spending.

I dislike using cash for purchases. I use it only when there are no other options. I prefer to pay by credit card. I can get cashback. I also use mobile wallet such as Apple Pay or Alipay when there is a promotion, such as I get a discount when I use this method of payment.

Even though there are currently many cashless methods available, I only use them at mini markets or supermalls, or pay for coffee, but in everyday life I also need cash to pay when I buy goods or services.

In most cases it is safer, there have been issues of bank transfers bouncing back or network issues, so i prefer to pay with cash to prevent such stress.

Finally I ran across a comment written by someone with more than half a brain. Paying cash is like throwing your money in the street. Maybe it's because I live in the United States, but I get offers every day from Credit Card Issuers bribing me with cash money in many forms if I use their card for my purchases. All I do is stay disciplined enough to pay the entire balance every month so I NEVER pay interest and it's like having my own little money machine that hands me free money every month in bonuses and rebates. They also give me statements so it can't be any easier to keep track of my spending. It all comes down to understanding money and what motivates businesses to give it to you.
