    When I was a lad – a good start for any commentary – we didn’t know nothing about money.

    I was intrigued by The Financial Brand’s autumn (Fall) magazine about younger folks or, as some call them, Gen Z. Personally, I’m not a fan of demographics. You can throw people into buckets of ages, but not everyone of a certain age behaves the same way.

    It’s interesting how trends rise.

This was the 1990s and AT&T had this fantastic set of adverts… The post Mercedes-Benz launches fingerprint payments with Mastercard … meh? appeared first on Chris Skinner's blog.
