Young people think that adults carrying cash is cringe. Young people think that adults carrying cash is cringe.

That's the headline.

Why?

Not only does Gen Z not want to use cash, they think that using it is cringe.

At least that's what a new Harris poll found.

They asked Gen Z, hey, what do you think about cash? And they're like, if you have it, it's

cringe, nobody pays with cash. I can tell you, I only have cash to tip. Just the why I keep cash.

Otherwise, I don't pay with cash that often. Quote, I do not carry even a wallet with me anymore.

And I carry my ID and my phone just in case. I use Apple pay for everything when Gen Z are explained. So mostly it's that. It's technology. Do you carry cash on you? Sometimes. I will say I've started to use my phone a lot more. It feels cool. My wife does not carry cash at all ever. And there have been times that I've been like, hey, take this's like what am I going to do with this spend it because she she uses her phone for everything if she's paying

somebody it's Venmo if she's uh credit card on like Apple pay in her wallet yeah I only just recently

because we have that grocery store right below us and I used to always take my phone, my wallet, everything down there with me and now I just take my phone. I'm a cash man. I'm also a purse man. Oh, wow. Look at that. I've had this, I've had this bag for a while. Relax. Yeah, no, I keep cash. Just to prove it. I keep cash. This is just tipping cash. That's it. Keep it folded up.

Ready to tip.

Yeah.

I don't ever want to be on the internet as somebody who, I didn't even tip me. Man, you ever grabbed your wallet and not have cash in there? And it's stressful. Like, I feel like that. But it's not anymore because we have our phone. You know what else I've been doing too? if for some reason I don't have cash,

I now feel comfortable just going,

hey, what's your Venmo?

Yeah.

Like at a valet.
