“If we shift to cashless payments, we won’t be able to see bills and change, so won’t we end up spending too much money?” This is a common concern faced by many people who are hesitant about going cashless. Indeed, precisely because we live in an era where invisible digital numbers are used as money, ``visualization (digitization) of household finances’’ has become an essential skill more than ever.
