I know, right? I'd feel bad if I ever not have enough money to pay for something I need, for example if the washing machine breaks down. I always make sure to have around 1/2 years earning on my bank account, just in case. But I've also lived in the USA two decades ago and I was baffled by their use of credit cards and debt. It really makes no sense to amount a huge debt on your credit card with the kind of interest the companys charge, but yet most of the americans that I got to know lived that way nevertheless. They will probably end up having half a million in debt by the time they die, not because they spent that amount but because the interest rate is so high on credit cards and it keeps piling up. But they even have a special insurance which covers your credit card debt in case of death. It's against all common sense to handle money that way, but I guess that's america. Not sure if the people don't understand or ....yeah, I don't know.

Well, debt isn't always a bad thing. Unfortunately, society convinced us to not go into debt and save all your money and to live like the average Joe. In schools, they don't teach you risk management, debt consolidation, and management and investing your money to make it grow for you. So to think debt is bad is the mindset of the average person has or at least been taught to stay either poor or making just enough to be comfortable. Also, it brainwashes us to think to have too much money isn't good either, for some people. This is exactly why we have that elite 1% that are insanely wealthy which some people hate on them and 99% of the world is in the midst of blowing every paycheck, not making enough, working too many hours just to get by or living too comfortable with what they have and not taking the risk to make more. In a way it makes the world go around because if everyone was really smart with their money, nothing would be profitable. Oh, and using cash for everything has its downsides too. Another fear that people live by is using credit cards is bad when really it's the best thing you could ever do with your spending habits. Credit Cards have insurance, security, protection, anti-fraud, warranty and other perks that could potentially save you financially or help you reduce your spending. That is IF you're disciplined to not spending more than what you have.

Today's lesson on "germans learn german": pinke pinke

I'm Dutch living in Germany and I was surprised how much cash our neighbours still use and how many places don't accept debitcards. When I moved here I was very much used to paying with Apple Pay (and before that by contactless card payment). In Germany contactless card payment is possible at most places that accept card payment, but Apple Pay was not even supported by most large banks. Just recently one of Germany's largest banks opened up to Apple Pay. Also, German banking apps are very outdated. They also don't know methods for direct online payment like iDeal or Tikkie in the Netherlands. When I order something online I have to use PayPal or I have to transfer it afterwards (which takes more time because you have to fill in order nummers etc). Guess the Germans are still a bit oldfashioned, like they are in a lot of other area's ;)

There is another reason why cash is so popular: if you spend it, you give something away physically and see the amount in your pocket shrink, while the amount on a bank account is just an abstract number. It helps to save money because it brings the shrinking amount to the mind.

Not using normal credit cards doesn't mean, that we don't pay electronically. We just have our own system, which German banks invented back in 1991. So saying, that we are refusing to step into the 21st century is not really accurate. 95% of all Germans do have a GiroCard (75% use them in retail transactions) and therefore we don't really have a need for normal credit cards.

This is a short list of German words which can be used to refer to money. I wrote the English translation behind them. Kohle(n) - coal Asche - ash Kröten - paddocks Moneten - from Latin "moneta = money", in Italian it means "coin" and also English "money" is related to this one Mäuse - mice Moos - moss Piepen - beeps (??)

Depending on the car aka price it might be illegal as there's a legal limit for payments in cash (which of course is still way higher than in other countries).

I went to Japan recently and most shops still only deal in cash. Credit cards are not widely accepted (other than those catering to tourists). I think that businesses do not want to pay fees to the Credit Card companies which is like a form of tax. Also Japan is really safe unlike America, so the shops are not afraid that their cash takings will get robbed. The Japanese are also careful with their money and have a high savings rate. I was shocked recently watching news about American government workers (considered a steady job) living from paycheck to paycheck with almost no savings. No wonder Credit Cards are an American invention

Then again im not an expert on japanese culture, so i might be wrong.

It's often said - especially by older German people - that trusting cash rather than cards stems from the catastrophic inflation which they had, which reached a peak in 1923 when a loaf of bread cost something like 200,000,000,000 marks. Our English teacher lived through it as a young child and some of the stories were absolutely horrifying. It seems to have gone out of fashion now, but at flea markets in Germany there would be people selling old German bank notes with values of millions of marks. I must admit that since I have been in Germany I find taking a 50 euro note out of my wallet to pay for something makes me think twice, whereas waving my credit card or EC card at a machine doesn't have the same effect, and I like that.

I'm 19 years old, a German native. I own a debit and a credit card. I used my debit card 2 times in 2019 and my credit card 1 time (for purchasing concert tickets on a UK website) I don't like it if I can't see how much money I already spent so I stick to cash 😂

Lesson learned.

@Juden Arier Except the world is changing and living like a cowboy reaaaally doesn't work

Excellent report!

A very big reason for the cash culture we have, atleast nowadays, is the fact, that it lets us avoid or atleast lessen the sinister fees and charges you now more and more have to pay when having your money in a bank account. Those fees are slowly and steadily creeped on us and of course are being raised almost annually nowadays. Having a cash free economy would mean that the banks could basically do whatever they feel like without one being able to do anything against it, because when it comes to subtracting money from the clients all banks are pretty much the same and a swap of institutes wont do you any good. So right now, with the cash still going strong, if a bank forces us to pay a certain percentage of what we have in the accounts or charges fees if there is more than a certain amount of cash in it, we just withdraw the money from the account the keep costs as minimal as possible. Basically we are dodging unjustified costs with the usage of cash instead of plastic or similiar.

I think Germans have the right idea about paying with cash rather than cards.

good part of this video is that how relaxing is living conservative with saving rather than luxury in debt.

I loved this video. In the USA, we have Aldi and I like it. They waste no materials on bags. Empty boxes are encouraged from inside the store to carry you're goods. You can purchase a recycling bag to use over and over. Carts you put a quarter in and unless you return the cart, you don't get you're quarter back. Cash is encouraged because the charge for debit or credit, even with a standard bank card, does have a fee. Food at Aldi got so much better over the course of time and some are too poor for the local big names. Danka for Aldi. Peace!

As a German who lived in England for 4 years, I have to say I am a great fan of not having to carry cash around and being able to pay by card for 4 tesco value doughnuts. People complain about privacy issues, however, when paying by card, the privacy standards are incredibly high in Germany. Walking around with lots of cash is much more unsafe and a few of my friends have actually been robbed all their money they carried around with them.

Don't forget the ever so popular "Preis-Leistungsverhältnis", basically meaning price-performance ratio. While Germans do not tend to cheap out on goods and services, they do thouroughly compare different options to find the one that offers the most bang for your buck. German efficiency, I guess... :-D

That's really similar to Australia, it is extremely inconvenient to use card payments in Australia because a lot of shops here in Australia do not accept card payments or if they do, there is always a surcharge.

There is a guy who used to say: "Debt is dumb, cash is king, and the paid-off home mortgage has taken the place of the BMW as the status symbol of choice." which is very true, btw.

The advantage of Cash is that you have a real feeling for how much money you spend, paying with a cart just shows you numbers
