Nowadays, using a card instead of cash is very common because cards are much more portable and easy to carry. However, there are still some people who prefer using cash. For example, my grandmother, like many elderly people, prefers to use cash because she finds using cards difficult. She sometimes needs to use card reader kiosks and says that it's too difficult to choose the menu she wants and to find the right button. Also, some people like to use cash because of the texture and the feeling of holding wealth. They say that the sound of coins and cash clinking together makes them happy and inspires them to work more and collect more money. They say that their aim in life is not to show off, but to leave a legacy.
