I had two reasons, the first is because i found it way too easy to spend on my card without thinking, and the second because I wanted to regain a bit of privacy alongside everything else I’m doing. Ive set it up in my bank that on payday, an amount of my salary automatically goes to the bills account, some goes to long term savings, some to short term savings, then the rest I take out in cash.
It really does change my perception of spending I think: Ive found myself not buying things because I didnt want to break a note and carry change. I can physically see how much I have left. I can take £20 to the pub and leave when its finished. Plus it feels really good knowing every single transaction isnt stored forever. I have a small amount of money on a contactless ring for emergencies like a bus fare or somewhere that unexpectedly only takes card.
Is anyone else still predominantly using cash day to day?
The main question is - where would you get that deposit first…
https://xmrbazaar.com and offer to drop ship something. Here is my store for example and how I earn Monero. https://xmrbazaar.com/user/shortwavesurfer2009
That sounds like “getting money out of thin air”, have my doubts that money is guaranteed… Also wouldn’t dropshipping require some setup?
Actually, I don’t think drop shipping is the term I am looking for. What I do is simply take an order from somebody and then immediately go to eBay and ship the item to them. The main difference is that I’m doing it in another currency and I want to get rid of the dollars and get that other currency and not come back.
Ah. Especially if the exact item can be requested by the buyer - then ye, fair plan)
Yeah, I have a list of pre-determined items and the buyer can look at that list and decide what they want or if they really want something I don’t have. I’m always open to requests for other items to be included.
