I see articles here every other week talking about the end of cash and I don't know where they're coming from. This article finally takes a more realistic approach.

The other articles don't match the reality of where I live (Switzerland). I don't think they match the reality of Germany and Austria either, and much of Europe.

People here still pay for their cars in cash. I'm going to my bank on Monday to take out chf 7k to pay for my wife and mine yearly train passes.

Is this just a u.s. And UK phenomena?
