I use my credit card like cash. So I must always use it sparingly. I always pay my bills on time and in full. I never buy whatever I can't afford. I rarely use cash. I use my credit card like cash.

Seems like you have a confident plan that works for you and that's what matters most. @lulugal11 - I agree that sometime cash can be easier to spend. It's all about mixing it up and making it work for you. @Marci – Good for you. Seems like you have a confident plan that works for you and that’s what matters most.

I am using one rewards card that I send a snowflake payment to as soon as I get home. I get out the receipt and enter a payment for that amount to go to the card. I do not buy small items like candy or gum unless it is part of my regular shopping, so I do not end up putting a $2.18 charge on the card, whereas I probably would have spent that if I had cash. This system works for me now, but I have to be very disciplined to keep it going. I have a budget and I follow it strictly. If I do not have the cash then it does not go on the card.

I refuse to get a debit card, use cash for groceries, gas, and daily purchase, and only use a credit card if online. When I'm short on cash, I don't spend. Simple as that. I've done it for years and wouldn't have it any other way! It's a visual reminder that I AM spending MY hard earned money and I Think before every purchase - is this item WORTH trading part of my working life for? and how many hours did I have to work for it! Works for me! And yes, it's by choice - not necessity - my credit and finances are excellent!!! Cash Please!
