Say goodbye to your beloved Benjamins...I love that line. I was looking at books today on Amazon.com and this one caught my attention. The author of The End of Money, David Wolman, sets out to investigate the future of money and how it will affect us. Because he was intrigued by the idea that "cash" may soon disappear, he does away with it for a whole year. I think it looks really good because I too am interested by this idea. Everybody these days seems to just be using credit cards. I work at a coffee shop, and I can say with confidence that over half the customers pay their purchases with credit cards. Where I work, a small coffee costs $1.61, so you would think that the majority would at least have a couple bucks in their wallets to pay that. However, they choose to use their credit cards. It's just more convenient that way, which is something our busy society seems to be all about now. So is that the reason for this change? Is it just more convenient? Maybe the world really is going cashless.
Check out a link to the author's blog, and a review of the book!
