I have a different twist on this whole lunchgate/savingsgate/Boomer money thing: **Moving to cashless has really messed with people.** Dave Ramsey has talked about the psychology of paying with cash: you actually feel it when it leaves your wallet. And if you have, say, $40 in cash for the week and you blow $20 the first day, you then tell yourself...well, crap, I gotta do the value meal tomorrow...or...hmm, maybe I'll have to pack lunch. It's SO easy, now, to just...use the card and try to keep track on your digital wallet. AND it's easy to say, too, "well, I'll watch it." But if you can ping money from one account to another, or just put it on a credit card that you think you'll pay back at the end of the month — but you won't — then...it gets easier to just spend. @AndToddsaid raises a good point on affordability, and of course there are ways to save and scrimp, but moving away from paper makes it easier to put it on a card of some sort — debit, credit, whatever you've attached to your phone — and you're on your way. But if you don't feel it, you don't...feel it.

Had a guy, who called himself a psychic, call me three times today. He told me that the #Bills will win the Super Bowl in 2027, and the #Sabres will win the Stanley Cup in 2026. Take that for what it’s worth.
