People are only just realising what it means when someone ‘pays cash’, and it’s blowing their minds
A WOMAN has left people stunned after revealing what it really means when someone says they’re “paying cash” for something.
Finance Fran took to her TikTok page to share her revelation, writing over a video of herself: “When someone says they ‘paid cash for their house’ or ‘bought their car with cash’ it doesn’t literally mean they paid with physical notes.
“It just means they had enough money in their bank account to pay the full price upfront, and didn’t need to get a mortgage loan or a car loan.”
People were quick to comment on the video, with many admitting they’d had no idea that’s what it meant.
“My whole life is shifted,” one wrote.
“That solved a mystery I was too scared to ask about,” another added.
“The way this took 29 years of my life to realise!!” someone else said.
As another admitted: “I bought my first car in cash (took the cash out of the bank) because I thought this was what ‘in cash’ meant.”
“This makes so much sense why did it never occur to me,” someone else said.
But others were left stunned by the fact that so many people didn’t know what it meant.
“Y’all didn’t know this? Lmao,” one wrote.
“I don’t know anyone who was confused by this,” another said.
“I’m concerned with how many people thought it was actual cash,” a third added.
As someone else said: “Y’all seriously didn’t know this?
“People were really just carrying 30-300 thousand and y’all thought that made more sense?”
