    I used to say the same about cash but really, anything that makes my life easier I end up enjoying.

    I whittled myself down from a fat wallet to one card on me and one in my car. I still sometimes forget it or lose it so I wouldn’t mind it being permanently attached to my face but don’t get me wrong, I really don’t need it either.

    In terms of data mining, I don’t really see what more they can get? Maybe makeup habits for women or eye reflection to see who else is with you but that seems a bit intense. All the financial data, they already have if using a card.

    Seriously though, boggles my mind that there isn’t more data protection relating to banking. It shouldn’t even be an issue, none of that data should be touched.
