Exhibit 5.7 (c) LIQUIDITY<br />

� if I had cash in my wallet because I would think I will just try and spend the<br />

� cash,I feel like it disappears. If I have cash in wallet then suddenly its gone.<br />

� I find with cash i would want to spend the entire lot Even if I had $2 left and that<br />

would be f<strong>or</strong> a toy f<strong>or</strong> my daughter, Its f<strong>or</strong> spending<br />

� I feel like it disappears. If I have cash in wallet then suddenly its gone.<br />

� I if I had cash in my wallet because I would think I will just try and spend the cash,<br />

� If I have cash in my pocket I go Umm treat<br />

Exhibit 5.7(d) SECURITY<br />

� I w<strong>or</strong>ry about the safety <strong>of</strong> cash like I put it down my top if I have got my EFTPOS card<br />

there’s no problem as no one can get access anyway but if its cash you are never going<br />

to get it back.<br />

� You also run the risk <strong>of</strong> someone giving you inc<strong>or</strong>rect change like um you know like<br />

when its electronic its all very straightf<strong>or</strong>ward and kind <strong>of</strong><br />

� Not as good as if it was a hundred dollars in my wallet. Somehow the tangible having<br />

the hundred dollar note in wallet makes I feel safe like I can’t, I’m not sure it feels m<strong>or</strong>e<br />

valuable to me, f<strong>or</strong> some reason like an asset<br />

� I only have cash in my wallet I only think about it that in getting rid <strong>of</strong> that you don’t<br />

want all that change in your wallet <strong>or</strong> all those notes because you might lose them and<br />

the fear is always there <strong>of</strong> losing them.<br />

� I don’t like to carry, I had to bank about five hundred and something dollars f<strong>or</strong><br />

plunket the other day and just the thought <strong>of</strong> carrying all that cash. I thought if<br />

someone grabs my bag that’s gone but If you’ve got a card you just ring the bank and<br />

cancel it and you are ok<br />

Exhibit 5.7(e) GIFT<br />

� yeah my mother in law always sends hard cold cash in the post. Wow, I know it always<br />

seems but it always seems to get here she quite <strong>of</strong>ten sends a hundred <strong>or</strong> hundred and<br />

fifty bucks…wahoo because you think I can go spend that and you know its f<strong>or</strong> you<br />

and you can go and do what have a facial <strong>or</strong> something frivolous. But then she started<br />

sending via Visa debits, the fun lost.<br />

� <strong>Cash</strong> because if I got one hundred dollars cash f<strong>or</strong> gift I feel happy and I want to spend<br />

something I want to buy something I never buy and if one hundred dollars in the card it<br />

just stay there f<strong>or</strong> my if I go to restaurant I just spend it different if one hundred dollars<br />

cash I want to buy something I can<br />

� If someone put a hundred dollars in my bank account I know it would go on bills but I<br />

know that if I was given a hundred dollars I would go, wow I can actually buy myself<br />

something really nice.<br />

� Exhibit 5.7(f) PHYSICALITYI squirrel away hundred dollar notes you know as a safety valve<br />

Yeah<br />

� So what does that represent to you that when its in intact like that what does it represent to you?<br />

(member <strong>of</strong> the groups asks) suppose wealth Yeah- Security- a back up plan<br />

� It’s interesting isn’t it cause with a hundred dollar note one <strong>of</strong> my feelings about it is it could get lost I<br />

want to save it I want to put it away I don’t want to spend it cause I could just easily spend it put it in<br />

my bank account cause otherwise I will buy something with it<br />

� True - <strong>Cash</strong> doesn’t decline<br />

� I feel like I am parting with something if I hand over cash<br />

� But then once again I spend it m<strong>or</strong>e readily but I can feel it and it is p<strong>or</strong>table and I have the coins<br />

rattling around and even when I was younger if I had coins I felt m<strong>or</strong>e richer than if someone gave I $2<br />

notes <strong>or</strong> something.<br />

� It is just when I can hear coins I think I have actually got money. I feel richer but then I know that’s<br />

not right<br />

� In my drawer at home I have a fifty dollar note that I have kept f<strong>or</strong> three months since I sold something<br />

on trade me and in that time I have had plenty <strong>of</strong> twenties through my wallet but the fifty is really<br />

special and I keep it f<strong>or</strong> something special, I don’t know what but<br />

� I like looking at a $100 note.<br />

� It is tangible whereas although the card is a tangible item what is inside the card <strong>or</strong> the background <strong>of</strong><br />

the card in the bank account is an unknown.<br />

� I feel richer. If I can actually touch <strong>or</strong> feel it <strong>or</strong> hear coins in my purse I feel rich. With a debit card <strong>or</strong><br />

anything else, using EFTPOS, if I can’t see it it doesn’t seem as real.<br />

� I hand over a twenty and I get three dollars twenty back in little bits and coins<br />

� Its just m<strong>or</strong>e tangible than when I hand over a card and I just get a small piece <strong>of</strong> paper back<br />

� I think with the debit card when I see the statement it just seems m<strong>or</strong>e like a transaction just and I don’t<br />

really think <strong>of</strong> it as something I really had and that I don’t have any m<strong>or</strong>e. Whereas with money when I<br />

hand over money I feel like I are giving something away.<br />

� Yeah, I would feel richer having the $100 note than I would having $100 in my cash card.<br />

� I would be m<strong>or</strong>e likely to spend it that on something m<strong>or</strong>e frivolous than I would money in my cash<br />

card.<br />

� You asked if we saw these cards as having value with a hundred dollars yeah it still feels like a hundred<br />

dollars<br />

� There is m<strong>or</strong>e control because I see it is almost real<br />

� Yeah because you can see it you know you are spending money<br />

� There is a tangibility to it like there is a because its weird isn’t it because it feels m<strong>or</strong>e physical than<br />

that, feels m<strong>or</strong>e physical than that
