I didn't use cash for years in Russia, all about card payments and instant bank payments between people. Last year many of POS asking to pay via QR code to avoid card fee (2-3%).

Central Bank will test digital Ruble asset in the recent time, it's some sort of limited conversion currency, like you get a payment for child care and it's possible to use only for limited products to purchase.

My favorite word in Dutch is morning greeting: goeiemorgen. In Russian it sounds like dick-morgen which is ridiculous if you're native Russian speaker. This song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9H-ffphZf8&ab_channel=Eurov...) even went viral in Russia because of this (goeiedag sounds like bullshit also).

P.S. Link from the post doesn't open in Russia ("Country blocked") and I had to use VPN to read it lol. It's ONGEZELLIG to block someone read article about cozy and ecologic living.

I love Japanese interfaces for this, their work with sound and animations may look weird and outdated, but it’s so good to use them

This is the beauty of products you could easily afford.

If you earn x and could not worry about $20 item, then $200 item for the people who earn 10x.

Also, thinking like “it’s cheap, I’ll buy another” generates overconsumption.
