The researchers said keeping cash to hand whenever possible was the right way to spend.
As the debate over a cashless society continues to boil, Australian researchers have shown that paying without cash does in fact lead to people spending more.
"This indicates that traditional cash-based ways of collecting money, such as tipping jars and spiral wishing wells, are just as effective as cashless point-of-sale terminals to collect tips or donations." "To prevent spending more than planned, we recommend consumers carry cash instead of cards whenever they can, as it acts as a self-control method," Schomburgk said.
