Who uses cards anymore? I don't even carry a wallet. Everything has been tap to pay on phones for years now.

Depends on country. Some still apply their contactless limits to Apple Pay:

e.g.:

> France

> You might not be able to use Apple Pay for purchases over 50 EUR.

> Canada

> You might not be able to use Apple Pay for purchases over 250 CAD

It must be nice to never travel anywhere.

Too much of my life is dependent upon this glass rectangle to also make it the lynchpin for my finances.

Yep, I'm running the exact opposite direction as the person you replied to. I just turned on my phone for the first time since Monday. I've had it sitting in my sock drawer all week. I just do all of my communication on my desktop these days (and obviously I pay for things with the contents of my wallet). It makes it much easier to disconnect on my own terms.
