Why do people rarely use cash now? People rarely use cash nowadays mainly because it's just more convenient to use cards or digital payments. You don't have to dig through your wallet for the exact change, and it speeds up transactions. Plus, with contactless payments and mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, it's even easier. For example, when I’m at a café, I just tap my phone to pay and I’m good to go. Apart from that, there's a security aspect—carrying less cash means you're less likely to lose it or have it stolen.

Should parents reward children with money? I think it depends. Rewarding kids with money can teach them the value of earning and saving, but it shouldn’t be the only way to motivate them. It’s good to mix it up with other types of rewards like praise, extra playtime, or special outings. Balance is key to ensuring they understand that not all good behavior or achievements are tied to money.

When do children begin to comprehend the value of money? Kids typically start to understand the value of money around the age of 6 or 7. That's when they begin to grasp basic concepts of saving and spending, especially if they get a small allowance or have some money for chores. By the time they're in their early teens, they often have a better sense of budgeting and prioritizing their spending, especially if parents involve them in discussions about household expenses or savings goals.

Do you go to sleep early or stay up late? I usually stay up late. I’m not really a morning person, so I often use the late hours to relax, watch shows, or catch up on some reading.

How do you feel in the morning after staying up late? Honestly, staying up late doesn’t affect me much the next morning. I’m pretty used to it, so I can still get through my day without feeling too wiped out.

What were you doing when you stayed up late last time? The last time I stayed up late, I was binge-watching a comedy show. I got so into it that I completely lost track of time, laughing my head off. By the time I realized it, it was already past midnight, but it was totally worth it for the laughs.
