You never know when you might need bills or your ID, even in a state with contactless payments everywhere and a digital ID, it’s better to have a backup.
Most small vendors offer a pretty nice discount for cash (even though thats technically against cc’s tos), as soon as I started to buy almost entirely local my cash usage went way up. I do almost all my groceries in cash these days from a farmers market.
I almost never use digital payments. Between the processing fees and lack of privacy, cash is always better for both parties. You spend less when you carry cash also.

In the last 15 years, the only time I’ve ever used cash was to buy coke.
That’s all it’s good for nowadays. Buying drugs.

And privacy? I use cash whenever I can
