This used to be my attitude as well, but it's odd how you find uses for technology that you didn't expect.
Mainly, I have a one-year-old, and fishing for a phone in my pocket one-handed while carrying him is a lot easier than fishing for a wallet, getting cash or a card out and doing the same.
It's also a good backup - I know I've got money available whenever my phone is on me.
My only wish for the wish list would be for it to allow foreign cards (I have a Euro credit and debit card for use abroad, and to keep miles alive) to be registered on a UK account, which it doesn't. Would make it easier to travel without having to remember to swap various cards over every time.
