I use my Debit card for almost everything, except when I go out to Bars, Strip Clubs and Events... I keep all my money in the bank, but when the above occurs I hit the ATM. From past experience, I would rather lose my Debit Card which I can cancel, than lose a knot of paper!

i dont lose money. im one of them noid mutha fuckas that double/triple check their pockets in an hour. now, i HAVE almost forgot my card in the atm, and i have forgot to get my money by getting sidetracked...ive also caught others slipping, pressed continue and cashed me out some too..

the thing about using your card is, eventually, a human will run across your credit card #. trust me. ive worked for many a bank and credit card companies where i had to put maybe even your credit purchases, in order.

did i do anything with it? who knows.

do you trust me with your card number?

hehe.

exactamundo!


I was a cash only person for God knows how many years, but recently, I stopped carrying change.
It's also a lot more convenient when I make purchases at stores. I just tuck away the receipt and don't got to fuck with dirty filthy paper and change. Don't get me started on all the filthy okie fuckers out there that walk straight out the bathrooms without washing...

Debit always.

I always keep like maybe just $10 on me though in case I go somewhere like a convenience store and they make you buy a minimum purchase.


I just want this soda, I ain't tryin to buy 4 dollars more worth of slim jims.

I have never lost any cash. I use both cash and debit hand n hand though. I just pull from the ATM.

Using debit does definitely help you save though if all your money from your check goes direct deposite. You just see it building up and building up, as long as you control your spending.

To save, what I like to do is pull out like lets say $100 in cash from the ATM for leisure expenses and see how long I can ride out with that. The longer I can control that money, the better.

paying your credit card bill in full before the due date does not do shit for your credit.

i prefer paying debit. because i always check my online banking and if i spend something its right there in my face and i knew exactly what i spent and on what. i use cash only when i need to. small purchases, food etc. plus when i have cash i tend to spend it easier, it keeps me in check when i use my debit. i hate going out at night and the next day all my cash is gone and im tryin to think back on wtf i spent it on, and if i lost some money.

A television I bought 6 years ago was with either debit or credit, and I am glad I did. I lost the receipt, and was looking around Wal-Mart with a month, and found a much better television for like 50 dollars more. When I brought it back to exchange it, the original television had dropped in price by almost half, and that was the credit amount they were going to give me towards the television. I said no way, and the manager went in the back and was able to pull up my information to prove what price I had paid.
If nothing else, look at it like big purchases give you a backup receipt.

Cash so the goverment cant track how much money im spending
not only how much ure spending but where u are and what u were doing, not to mention any random bank employee can just pull up all your information whenever they want, i just feel like its too much information to be out there, websites stores everybody knows your shit, identity theft aint no joke either :confused:

Debit card on mine.
i cut bums off like 4 seconds before they even walk to me. its just this look like 'i already know what youre gonna say and no i dont have change'

i give people change who humor me, if you can drop a witty saying..but if it goes past like 6 seconds...you lost

like once i was walking with some bags on haight street and i past this group of punks and dude was like "HEYYYY BIG BALLA! WHERE DEM DOLLAS WHERE THEM DOLLAS AT?" i was suprised he knew that shit. (plus it takes some big balls to be punk but sing the part of a girl on a rap song) i gave him some change.

actually, i gave every bum on that block change until i had no change left. its my way of smoking with everyone without getting hepatitis/swine flu/mono/whatever the fuck else those dirty people have

i remember chilling on the hill on haight street in all new clothes and this bitch came up to me and asked me if i wanted a fucking sandwich or if i needed anything...i havent wanted to punch many women but that moment...yep
