I like cash, but when I go shopping I prefer credit.

Cash... I don't know anything about credit cards (interest/APR wise) so i am staying away from it... Probably need to research more, but cash has treated me right so don't really need any change to cash and debit card

For most things I purchase, I use cash.  When I pay some bills, I use money orders or my debit cards. :moneymouth: :moneymouth: :moneymouth: :thumbsup: :rainbow:

I use cash for everything because it is hard to hack into cash. As far as credit or debit cards I have none and don't plan on it.

I try to use cash as much as I can.  That is still the safest method of payment.  The only exception is when I have a large purchase or I pay a bill by mail then I use a check.  The only time I use a credit card is when I shop online.  And lately I have been doing less of that.  I worry about my credit card number and personal information being stolen.

I never use credit cards.  I always pay by cash.  If I don't have the money then I don't buy it.  You have to think what is more important to you.  But for me I am debt free and want to keep it that way. :)

Devit cards are the safest and best way to buy things.   I dont like having a lot of cash but devit cards are the best

I prefer prepaid cards, becuase I can keep track of my spending.

I prefer to use cash. For me, there's something about when I spend cash, I feel it more than when I use a card. When I do use a card, it's a prepaid debit card. I will never use a credit card again.

I always use credit cards when I can. I get cash back everytime I use it, also it offers more protection than debit cards (funds not taken directly out of my checking account).

I prefer cash too, but credit card is useful in some other ways. Its good for emergency too. Just the down side is hard to control the spending.
