SALLY

TINDALL

Sally is a research

director at RateCity.

Sally says: “I try to

avoid cash. It’s fiddly,

slow and easily lost.

Paying by card also

helps me keep track

of where the money

goes. But the kids

love earning pocket

money, so it still

plays a small but

important role in

our house.”

JOANNA

MCCREERY

Joanna is a director of

Majella Wealth Advis-

ers. Joanna says:

“I like to support my

local small businesses

(I’d hate for a time to

come when the big

grocery chains are all

we have), so when I’m

topping up my weekly

grocery needs in the

local bakery and fruit

and veg shop, I pay

cash. They prefer it, as

it helps their margins.”

SUSAN

HELY

Susan is a senior

writer at Money

magazine. Susan

says: “I like to tap

and pay but panic if

I don’t have cash in

my wallet. I pay cash

at the markets when

I buy fruit, veggies

and plants. Parking

meters prefer cash

as do the sellers of

The Big Issue.”

DARREN

SNYDER

Darren is the manag-

ing editor of Money

magazine. Darren

says: “Nowadays

cash doesn’t burn a

hole in the wallet as

much as a debit card

does. But I’ll still pay

cash for taxi rides

and at the local gen-

eral store. Keeping

a money box for

leftover change is

also still a great

way to save.”
