I did not read the article since I dont have web access, but I pay
almost EVERYTHING in cash. The only thing I pay by credit/debit card are
my utility bills, and I have a card with a gas station chain so I can
use the "pay at the pump" to buy gas at night, when the store is closed.
In this day privacy theft, and tracking peoples lives and purchases, for
advertising, I dont care to use plastic anymore. Not to mention that
there is no risks of overdrafts with cash. Yea, plastic is convenient,
but it has far too many risks not to mention I dont care to have my life
tracked.
 
For these same reasons, I would never use facebook or any of that sort
of thing (if I did have web access). People in general have sold their
privacy and most just dont give a damn. I'm probablyt one of the few who
does care and I am not willing to be a sucker to all this crap for the
"convienience factor".
 
I am retired and on Social Security. I was forced to get a debit card
because SS no longer issues paper checks. But as soon as my monthly
payment comes, I pay my utility bills and then withdraw most of the
money in cash. I usually leave a little on that card for emergency use.

Nice fluff piece for the credit card industry leaches.
