When I use cash to pay my mechanic for something quick, they give me a discount and round to the nearest $10.

If I use a credit card, we have to go for a walk to the back office and wait for an old and creaky point-of-sale machine to navigate a slow network connection.

I think this is a common feeling among adolescents and young adults across generations.

My grandparents spent their childhood with bombs falling around them. My parents spent their childhood doing duck-and-cover drills in school.

Betting on future disaster is a losing proposition, though. You could be right or wrong, and you'll lose either way.
