Should we have paper money?

 ¨ Where is my wallet?¨ Dang, it fell in the drain.  Now you can use money apps to store your money so you can’t lose it anymore. There are many pros about money apps that I am going to tell you about.


To start off, you can buy anything you want with these apps. For example, stores like Target and Walmart will accept paper money. When stores have you pay with paper money instead of on these apps, you have to spend time counting up your money. If you count how much money you have, and realize you don’t have enough money, you can not pay for the things you need. But, if you have apps for money you will have all your money in your phone. You can get anything at anytime.


Sometimes  people yell at you for being so slow in the checkout line. Now, with money apps,  you won’t be slow  wasting other people's time in line, because you do not have to count all your money.  That way when people are in line they won’t be yelling at you to be faster.  This could mean that if you are waiting in line at a place like Starbucks, it won’t take as long to pay and get what you ordered. 


Another pro of a money app is we would not be wasting trees. Money comes from paper as you know and paper comes from trees. So, if we don´t get rid of paper money we will always be cutting trees down. This would be bad for the environment.

Finally,  paper money is outdated. As years start to pass, we need to evolve. Paper money has been around for hundreds of years and if we don´t get rid of it, we don't evolve.


After thinking about getting rid of paper money, I  think it is a good idea. However, it would take many, many years.
