6. Do you still carry cash on you/use cash on a regular basis?

Actually, yes, mostly due to frequenting farms and farmer's markets.

Even our farmers markets and craft fairs take cards now and don’t want cash. I think we’re heading towards a card only society like Sweden have.

We carry cash for the same reason and to tip wait staff. Also, repair people often give a discount for cash payment because the credit card company takes a bit out of their end. I'm not sure how much they need to pay but I bet it adds up.

Cards charge them between 1.5%-3.5% of a sale. Some small vendors here add a surcharge if you pay by card.
