May 2024

but I worry when one "account" can be linked to multiple cards. Hackers are way too smart these days. We've been hit so many times and have had to restart with new debit cards, that I cringe at the thought of that account being linked to my Chase and Amazon cards!

I dunno... I'll reserve judgement for now and see what ends up happening. At my age, after 40+ years in the tech field, I'm kinda tired of constant technology changes. As the number of marbles in my head dwindles, it's kinda nice to have structure and consistency... especially around something as important as finances. Smaller chance of making dumb mistakes that way.
