Re: Cash or Charge?

i seem to be in the minority! i pay cash for everything i can except for large purchases and gas. i don't carry a lot of cash, but if i know i'm going to buy something, i take it out. i never ever ever use debit...i would never be able to keep track of it

Re: Cash or Charge?

I use my credit card but then pay it in full every month - I do that b/c I get money back on my card and by doing that last year I got enough back for a camcorder - I used to only use cash but I wasn't getting anything for it - so this made more sense. I wouldn't do that though unless you can pay the full balance every month.

Re: Cash or Charge?

I prefer cash but I use credit when I want the purchase to be protected (if I think I could possibly have a dispute). DH likes debit but I hate how easy it is to lose track of the account balances. He is really good at keeping track of that, though.

We have a cash back rewards card so we use that for as much as possible during the month then pay it off at the end of the month.

Re: Cash or Charge?

we used to overuse our debit card and now we are trying to get by on a weekly amount of cash without using our debit cards

Re: Cash or Charge?

debit or cash.

Either way, it's paid for and not charged to a CC.

Re: Cash or Charge?

Most of the time we use debit, but if we have cash on us we'll use that. We hardly use credit cards.

Re: Cash or Charge?

I charge everything and rack up the miles.

I also pay my cc bill in full each month so in the end I am getting the best deal.

But - I always have $100 cash or so on me, plus a folded up hidden $50 bill in my wallet "just in case".

For clothing and bigger purchases, credit card. Smaller purchases and food, cash.

We charge everything and pay it off at the end of the month. We have a miles card so we get trips out of it.
