flag 38% of Americans still prefer cash for its tangibility and reliability, especially in uncertain times.

flag A new study finds 38% of Americans still view cash as more "real" than digital money, valuing its tangibility and reliability, especially during economic uncertainty. flag Despite declining daily use—only 18% use cash daily and 20% a few times a year—40% keep it for emergencies or tech outages, and 25% see it as a financial safety net. flag Cash remains popular for small purchases, tips, and splitting bills, with many carrying $51 to $100. flag While 35% are mostly cashless, 41% say their first money experiences involved cash, though 35% believe younger generations skip it. flag When allocating $10,000, most choose savings, debt repayment, or investing, but nearly half still want cash for immediate access.
