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 />

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
