Just go back to using more cash for things? It is not like it has been banned...
The dilemma.
Now that we’re buying almost everything via cashless payments - cards phones watches … Going cashless means everything is viewable on our bank statements and means the odd cash withdrawal is very much noticed !
Punting for me is definitely getting tough to hide from my spouse. So the question is, what are we to do
I mean realistically - how can we obscure our hobbie as we have done to now mostly via cash
- my first thought is it would be great if our favourite shops would set up multiple accounts with reasonable business names so it would seem legit - rather than Fay Lim massage, health club or some such with locations registered right where the shop is.
how about red dragon dumplings , JC electrical or TS Office supplies with addresses elsewhere so if its looked into its
Keen to get some realistic ideas
Thanks Bro’s!

Have a salary disbursement into another account at another bank.
Opt in for electronic statements.
Use a PO Box or another address because they will send letters for important stuff.
Hope your partner doesn't look at your payslips.

I have thus far steadfastly refused to go cashless, especially with so many places either charging card fees/transaction fees, or businesses offering cash discounts. Some of my regular restaurants for example have an unwritten cash discount, around 10%. I have no need to hide my transactions but I make sure I always have a supply of cash on me for this reason. Has saved me a few hundred $ this year alone.
Get "cash out" when you go shopping. Just a small amount each time so it's not too noticeable. Lose the receipt so she doesn't see it.
Take up another “hobby” that needs cash, like gambling, poker with friends, etc. Of course you’re not going to gamble, just say you need the cash for that activity.
Or even better, stand up for yourself and say it’s your own business what you do with your own money.
Cheers Bro - yes, great suggestion. I had considered this method and might be a good option
Think for me there’s less risk in just taking out the odd smaller withdrawals and Saving up for the punt
The way things are going though I’m keen to look for other means. The more smart ways to do this the better. I get the feeling that cash is king here but would be great to be able to find a way to use credit or debit cards somehow without giving up the game
In a few years time, there will be no cash and only digital currency that will be run by the government. I wonder how punters will punt if this takes place. Will you still punt or will you use some other barter means of payment?
Mate so true - as much as I don’t think it will completely disappear , the reduction in cash transactions is dropping very fast and even now exposes my transactions to the point that it needs explanation, and hence my thread.
we better get some ideas as to how to work with this so we can continue with our way of life if this trend keeps going the way it is
It’s going to effect the industry as well so will be interesting to see if they have (or come up with) any clever ways of dealing with it too
Ok this begs the question, is your.partner an accountant or what the hell did you do to have your activities scrutinised to such an extent?
All it takes is a joint bank account. And nowadays the mobile apps notify both accountholders of any spend.
Personally I go with the small amounts of cash method. I've thought about diverting from the payslips but just asking for trouble if she ever gets suspicious.
I've also been to one WL who accepted crypto!!
Some shops don't register under "massage" title so still can use your card. I noticed few Thai girls and Filipino girls start trading crypto so can get crypto wallet and you can use it as a payment method too
Why my current partner, I'd no way have a joint acct!! Go the supermarket withdrawal !! A little bit every time . .
