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. |
