Debit card is the best one as of my knowledge… because once we recharge the amount in it. Then we can go anywhere without anything…. Expect our debit card. So always go for that

My DH used a debit card until some criminals stole about $12,000 from his account by purchasing things at a jewelry store in Egypt. The police think that at some point a duplicate was made of his debit card. Cash only for us from now on!

I use both. I like to have cash on hand but if it’s a big purchase (over $100) or I’m not near my bank’s ATM I’ll use my debit card. It also helps that I have a keep the change program on my debit card where change is put into my savings account and matched up to a point.

Wow – all good answers and lots to think about. As for me – cash is best. I see my debit card as “easy money” until I have to balance my budget. I find myself juggling between accounts to try to keep my budget in line. If I have cash I am much more careful of what I spend because I’m spending in “real time”! Does that make sense?

I don’t spend more with cash, but only because I make it a point not to carry any at all most of the time.

When I do have cash on me I spend it like water, and usually I have no idea afterwards of what I actually bought.

Cash only here baby…it’s much better for me because I just can’t handle a checking account very well.
