Japanese only use cash?

I think they use cash much more than in the West.

You too Britain. Explain yourselves this.

>British ATM
>When you deposit, an envelope comes out.
>You put money in it, put it back into ATM.
>next day, employees collect all the envelopes and deposit the money manually

WHAT THE FUCK

There are some American cities where you can't use credit cards easily, like New Orleans.

Thanks for telling everyone faggot now everyone else thinks we're 4th world. Fuck yankees Louisiana will rise again

Reminder that if your cunt hasnt unlocked contactless technology yet you're third world

I hope you're cajun my dude

Shoo. We don't accept your checks here, granpa.

>have to go all the way to the bank 6 hours away to deposit money
JUST

post ur breakfast

...

For people who have a lot of assets, credit cards are more convenient than cash payment.
For those who do not have assets to borrow until the next payday, credit cards are miserable.
Credit cards paralyze their asset strength assessment and drop yourself in debt.

By the way, I am dealing with Korean citizens with credit cards in Japan's salaryman finance.
These companies are now in major Japanese banking affiliates, but all owners are Zainiti.

Naturally, the Japanese citizens also prey on them and every year bankrupts have continued and committed suicide.

Oui

>go to japan
>have to ask literally every cafe and restaurant if they accept cards
>they don't have notes for money under 1k yen
>have to keep putting coins into vending machines to buy shit since i only have so much room in my purse for coins

I see what you're doing japs

Don't they have an insane surplus of cash and coins? That's why there's vending machines everywhere.

yes, only the tourist trap places seemed to take cards

all mum/pop type places required money

If you are not retarded enough you can well control your spendings easily and not be in debt.
Credit cards are there for convenience. I dont understand why Japan doesnt adopt this.
Some countries are becoming cashless society. That way you dont have to carry bunch of coins.
It's for the tax evasion.

Actually, it is because of negative interest rates and buddhist traditions.

t. Japanese-American

...

Nope. If it was because of the *Buddhist tradition* China and South Korea would be the same but we arent.
It is mainly because of tax evasion.

We're first world now, yay.

>Asia doesn’t use credit cards

I learned something today

My bank offered me a credit card

Was pretty tempting to take it, go on a bender with money I don't have then off myself

We != Koreans or Chinese

1. Banking crisis 1990-2002 scarred us.
2. Technological backwardness.
3. Financial conservatism (why we put so little money in stocks)
4. Older population who just want to retire = risk averse

I see this here in the communities in USA as well. The parents socialize us that way.

Japs don't use cash they use touch pay which is tied to their mobile.

I rarely see people pay with credit cards before.Especially nowadays you can pay with your phone almost anywhere.And that makes it looks stupid still using credit cards.Of course it's safer when you are making big deal.

Wrong. Very few of us do that. Fewer than even American.

Only the young. 10%

Phones are safer than credit cards now

That really doesnt explain. You do realize thar every East Asian countries have gone through financial crisis during late 90s to early 00s?

>implying china and korea are as Buddhist as japan
I'd agree with you that it has nothing to do with Buddhism though

Breakfast burger?

What? Do they still use cheques?

Why would you ever use a credit card and not just fucking use a debit card
Also why would you go to a McDonalds without self serve machines and payware

here in clapistan, jews lure people into using a credit card for everything by giving a small discount, typically 1%-3% (which they call "cashback", to make retards think they're earning money).

>3. Financial conservatism (why we put so little money in stocks)

What the fuck? Not putting money in to stocks isn’t conservative safe thinking, it’s fucking dumb as hell. Do Asians not have 401Ks? I thought Asians were supposed to be smart with their money.

Here’s a tip: don’t be so fucking stupid you can’t use credit cards properly. Credit card companies can’t just extort you if pay your bills on time.

If you can’t use them correctly, that’s on you, not the Jews. Might as well blame Injuns when you stupidly lose a bunch a money at one of their casinos.

You’re a just a worthless irresponsible faggot who can’t take care of yourself and need somebody like the government to baby you.

>Credit card companies can’t just extort you if pay your bills on time.
This. It isn't difficult to just follow the basic rule of "Do not spend money you don't have". Getting points or "cash back" on cards is a decent incentive to use them; again, if you're not a retard. It's basically just getting everything on sale by a bit. Of course, if you have a card with a yearly fee, and you don't use the card enough to recoup more than the fee via cash-back or points, then you're being foolish.

But it's pretty easy to just throw all your common costs, like food, on a card and easily come out above even. No one's jewing you if you're paying attention.
