Is cash on the way out?

I am afraid to use my phone and credit card numbers to pay for things. I gave my card numbers to a company for something I bought and someone stole my numbers and probably sold it on the dark web. I had to cancel my card and have it investigated. The bank paid me my money back, about 300.00 but still it was an awful hassle and made me a nervous wreck. I got another card and haven't made any purchases on my phone since that happened.
Same reason I never purchase goods online.
Yes, I do book and pay for accommodation online. Been lucky so far.
Pay car rego and driver's license online.
Rent is auto pay; power and water are via a third party.

I have autopay for my rent and utilities, too. I hope no one ever hacks into those companies.
 
The risk of someone getting your details and emptying your account is a constant worry. Phone theft is on the rise and it's easy to see why. I'm always pleased to see a queue at the ATMs because it means many people are still drawing out cash.
