    In my nation, Apple pay and Google pay aren’t famous. The famous way to pay with a phone is using a qr code. It’s frictionless too. Paper bills are still famous here too. I think my spending behavior is the same whether I use paper bills, my phone or my debit card. Re using my phone or my debit card to pay, I <3 not having to deal with change.

        Yes, paper bills if you’re so private. To avoid spyware, use a phone that has a removable 🔋, like the Fairphone 5. Connect the 🔋 only when you must use the phone.

          It is VERY weird that you replace words with emojis. Looks like a book for toddlers who are learning to read. Why? Are you trying to bypass some odd word filter?

          Overall, I just don’t carry a phone most of the time. Fairphone 5 is not quite a realistic option for most because it is very expensive.
