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.”
