Cash , Debit , Pre Authorized Payments or Credit Card ?

Which of these do you use the most?

I assume most with a home and mortgage have their payments deducted monthly.

I also have car insurance monthly.

Credit card for me is mostly big ticket items like when I bought my
40 inch LCD TV , or vacations...

House insurance ?

Cable, phone , internet ,cell phone ?

When buying food , beer debit or cash ?

Clothes ?

Restaurants , moveis , etc ?
(We'll assume most pay cash at Arbys or McDonalds ,
what about a $ 100 for 2 joint?)

Credit card for big ticket items, (always have the cash right there to pay it off within the month) cash for everything else, including vacation to Vegas last April, helps me keep track better of whats actually being spent. I know its not the most practical method but it works for me. Same reason I prefer bookie to online, cash is tangible the other is a number on the screen

Funny how the casinos have the atm machines for gamblers with
no money management skills ...
