Question Your Debit Card : Could You Survive A month Without Making any Purchases On It ?

Could you survive a month without using your debit card
for making any purchases ?

You get paid every 2 weeks :

So budget before u get paid how much you spend on :

Food , Clothes , restaurants (eating out) ,
Beers , smokes , Gas , parking ,
Laundry , clothes ,hobbies ? , Kids stuff if you have em ..
Haircuts , Misc shopping
Set aside misc car repairs?
Savings?
Emergencies?


TAKE OUT 2 WEEKS SPENDING ONCE IN CASH
STICK TO IT


Lets say your cable , phone , internet , etc
all paid by internet or telephone banking
or automatic checking ..
Mortgage , rent is auto checking
Car paymt same

There was a time debit cards didn’t exist ..


Thoughts ?

Do it all the time.
My debit card is so f**ked that I cant use it anywhere.
Like the man says cash is king and it controls your spending when you hand out cash

too many inconsistencies with the DC.....cash can't ever get you in trouble (strip club ATM) or decline for some F'ed up reason!

One of my instructors has always said never carry cash...."cash burns a hole threw your pocket"....I think its true. I never carry cash cause when I do have cash I spend it like its going out of style.

I think I could last 2 weeks without a debit card but im a student so I got to save.

Use it for everything.Even pay bills with it.You can keep better track of everything.The bank don't send checks back now anyway so it's the only way to go.
