Michelle Obama Explains Why She’s Team Cash & Card Over Apple Pay: I Don’t Want To Be
Tracked’

#MichelleObama is keeping it old school when it comes to her money.

In a resurfaced interview with #AmyPoehler, the former First Lady shared that she knows exactly what Apple Pay is; she just refuses to touch it, saying, “I do, but I don’t use it. I’m trying to not do stuff on my phone.” When Amy called the move “a little boomer-y,” Michelle admitted, “I know, but I don’t want to be tracked.”

Amy’s take? We’re already cooked — everybody’s getting their identity swiped a dozen-plus times anyway. But Michelle’s got a doomsday plan, telling the “Parks and Recreation” star, “When the system crashes, I’m still going to have cash. I have cash in my wallet untouched for a decade.” She caught herself a beat later, joking she probably shouldn’t have announced her stash to the world, before adding, “But I guess I’m good because I also have this security guy with a g*n.”

#TJBCrew, where do you land: Team Cash or Team #ApplePay?
