I am not even that old and I remember a time when every small city had 4 banks right next to eachother. All gone.

Now banking is an app. Haven't used cash since forever- you have to literally google maps the nearest ATM.

Country? Here (Spain) many places do take cards/contactless but it's usually 'broken' under E100 or they just simply refuse anything but cash. Eveyone has wads of cash etc.

And not only 'the south', Berlin (Germany) has it too; many places don't take cards; they insist on cash.

If you love freedom, like very few of us Swedes do, use non-traceable and uncensorable payments like cash.
