I am not a digital native. What I am is a bumbling digital grandma who has only recently started to share my cell phone number with people outside of my family. I have been highly suspicious of using that phone for any financial business.

When I won a drawing and the prize was a gift card I received by email, I was in new territory. The instructions were to load it into Apple Pay—an app I knew about but didn’t understand–on my phone. I followed the instructions. Several months later I remembered it at a time when I could use it.

We were out to lunch, and I opened it. I told the waiter I had it but did not know what to do next. He took my phone, looked at it, touched it to his machine nodded and handed it back. After I entered the tip, I asked what to do next. He said, “That’s all, you’re done.”

It felt more like waving a magic wand than spending money.

If it is this easy for many people to spend money, I wonder if it’s easier to lose track of how much is spent. Does it make it easier to spend more than you intend to? Or am I just way behind the times? What do you think?

What is money anyway? If it’s not bills and coins, is it just pixels? Embrace Prosperity describes how others have answered this question and so much more.

This article is a comment I wrote about a passage on Page 127 of Embrace Prosperity: Resolve Blocks to Experiencing Abundance (Rapid Relief With Logosynthesis®) You can see the passage in the book. You can also see the excerpt here.
