 Most of the time I pay with cash. If I am shopping online I  prefer to use PayPal but will use a credit card if needed.  I do not own a debit card. :present: :santa:

Cash, cash, cash.....I was robbed twice through debit cards....one time for over a $1,000. One time $734.

I got my money back, but very very stressful.

Did I mention stressful? ha ha

It's annoying, but worth it, to have the cash when I have to go shopping etc.

I use debit cards ninety seven percent of the time. I alternate two credit cards (every other month) to pay for gas so that I keep them active. I pay them off every month so that I do not accrue any interest charges. I have one card that I use for online purchases that has a much lowere credit limit so I control my spending and minimize credit card theft/fraud. A fourth credit card is used to cover large family expenses. Once a year I will transfer the balance of a large expense (orthodontia, furnace, roof, car expense) to this card which will charge zero percent interest for a year. I calculate the payments needed to pay the balance off in one year (and factor in any anticipated annual bonuses from my two full time jobs) and have the card paid off within one year.

I use credit cards for the rewards. I pay them off every month so I never accumulate any debt.

I prefer to pay hard cash, but I do pay from my debit card when money is available.

I prefer to pay with cash, check. rarely with a credit card. Will also use my debit card at times.  I hate writing checks for small amounts. Since I have to balance the checkbook it is a lot easier. as I can't always read the  amounts when hubby writes them in. So he carries some cash and I carry cash.

I have been using cash lately but I also use the credit card for anything over $100.  I don't have a debit.

I almost always use credit cards. If I am going to spend the money, might as well get a little cash back.

I like to use my Discover card so I can get the rewards.  I pay off the charges the next day.
Have a wonderful day!
