My grandparents are the most private people I know wrt money: they get their pension cash delivered by the mailman & pay for everything (including bills) in cash.
No banks, no credit cards. Total chads in our world.

We’ve been conditioned to share everything, for convenience and for “likes”. My grandparents were the same, as they had everything taken from them.
My Dad has never used a computer. Never own a cell phone. Deals in cash mostly too.
The day that my phone kept me from having to print off maps from Mapquest, and then not have to pay annually to update my Garmin was a great day.
The ease of navigation is awesome, but you trade off things too so I get the ultimate privacy approach too! 🤔
We had a cell outage here for a whole day. Don't realize how much you depend on your cell with google maps. Don't even remember last time I've own a paper map.
More of this! I recently switched to paying cash or in sats and while sometimes inconvenient it’s awesome for privacy
