Just one word - "Plastics" - (The Graduate)

Do you realize that classic movie was made in 1967? That’s 43 years ago.

Back in 1976, I was employed by the number 2 banking association. This banking association was more of an educational resource to the industry than the number 1 banking association. While pursuing through educational materials, I came across an article entitled, “Cashless Society.” Honestly when reading this article, I could not even imagine something as strange as a cashless society. How would we pay for things?

The zips – 00 – Combine the two thoughts – Plastic and cashless society – What do we have? Credit Cards, ATM cards, debit cards, reward cards, FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards, insurance cards, I-pass cards and devices. The list is far longer. Who could have imagined? I wonder if those geniuses thought of Identify theft?

plus, unless it's rent money, the only money i save is singles and change :)

Thank you for your comment. YEAH! A comment. Please more comments.

As for saving change and singles, it's a good way to passively save.
