Hi Tooters - I'm looking for your experiences of different ways of spending during European travel.
I'm hoping to write a blog post on the advantages & disadvantages of - for example - cash, credit cards, currency cards, phone payments, travellers cheques, and anything else.
Is cash still king?
What do you take on your travels? Have you ever had a big problem with your choices? What would you recommend to others?

"... a new members' bill put forward by New Zealand First
would protect cash as a key option in transactions, requiring stores to take it for purchases up to $500. If drawn from the ballot and passed, NZ First leader Winston Peters said it would 'provide for the enduring use of cash as a private, accessible, and reliable method of payment'."

@chaosresearchparty I was extremely antagonistic to banks before I started worked for them. Now my hatred is more nuanced, but stronger. All banks are bad, also #Merkur and the other small friendly ones. But the bigger they get, the more evil they are.
We need to promote #cash usage. We need to talk about money, from personal finance through community wealth building all the way up to global injustices like Third World debt.
And we need to learn to lend each other money in practical ways.
