Cyprus’ youth talk money: Cash vs Card, Old vs Young

By: 4th year student, Department of Accounting and Finance, University of Cyprus

While waiting in line at a local bakery in Aradippou, Cyprus, I noticed an elderly individual, probably in his late-70s. He was struggling to pay at the till.

Witnessing this, I stepped up to provide a lending hand.

However, as I approached the front, it became apparent that the issue was not a matter of finance, but of technology…

The old man was trying his hardest to pay with his phone.
