For small purchases I use cash unless it's something that I want to
retain a record, then I use a credit card, or I may write a check.
I don't have a debit card, I don't have an ATM card either. I know a
few people who constantly use a Debit card and ATM, they are always
broke before the next pay period. I often see people in the
stupidmarket who swipe 3-4 debit cards and all are rejects for lack of
funds, then they hold up the line further by using an ATM, no funds
there either so they leave without buying anything and the store has
to put everything back. I'm surprised at how many people live that
way.
