I can save 1-10% on some things by using cash. Do that over a year and it all adds up. Isn't that the sort of financial advice some motivational speaker would give you?

What are you saving even 1% on by paying cash? Dodgy tradies?

Haircuts and every food place that has a surcharge for card

I’ve never seen a 10% card surcharge?

[–] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

That one wasn't card. I got a haircut and it came to $55.95 but I only had $55 cash so the guy said to just give him $50. That works out to more than a 10% saving for going cash
