Please consider the following reasons for righteously doing all of purchases using Plastic or Credit Cards.
>> You use less green stuff which is safer plus you have documentation in more than one place when you buy something.
>> You write a single check (or Online Payment) to the Credit Card Company for numerous Plastic purchases during the month.
>> Or you write fewer checks when making legitimate purchases. Plus you are less likely to use the Debit Card option.
>> You have a legitimate float time (righteous use of borrowing or credit) before you must pay for your purchases. CAUTION: YOU MUST PAY OFF THE CREDIT CARD STATEMENT BALANCE MONTHLY and pay no Interest Expense -- or preferably make Online payment weekly .
>> CAUTION: when you get e small slip of paper upon Plastic purchasing, have a plan for retainage - as if you where keeping your cash safe, etc. Example: Since they are so easy to loose, place them in an paper envelope even within a certain section of your Billfold or Purse.
