A new study has found that, as a result of high inflation, cash payments have become more prevalent in households. Despite a downward trend towards digital use over the last few decades, the rapid growth of inflation has seen a reversal in this pattern. A survey conducted by Credit Karma and The Harris Poll last month showed that 53 percent of adults in the US and 46 percent in the UK are more likely to use cash than they were a year ago. Furthermore, 19 and 4 percentage points more adults in the US and UK, respectively, prefer to use cash over digital methods of payment. Reports suggest younger consumers are following a trend called “cash-stuffing” by separating their cash into different envelopes to use for expenses, such as food and rent payments. Furthermore, social media, such as Facebook, is being used to boycott businesses that do not accept cash.
