Here's an inspiring story of how one couple got out of debt using the cash envelope system. <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/one-family-paid-off-118-150646318.html;_ylt=A0oG7uGS2NlSbhQAeUXBGOd_;_ylu=X3oDMTByMDhrMzdqBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNQRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkAw--" rel="nofollow">http://finance.yahoo.com/news/one-family-paid-off-118-150646318.html;_ylt=A0oG7uGS2NlSbhQAeUXBGOd_;_ylu=X3oDMTByMDhrMzdqBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNQRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkAw--</a> Veggiemama on "How often do you pay with cash?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-pay-with-cash#post-1356882 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:02:02 +0000 Veggiemama 1356882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We switched to an all cash envelope system a couple of months ago and it has been amazing! You can't spend what you don't have and it helped us to simplify and follow the budget.

We're now down to only 2 credit cards, car note, and student loans. On Sunday we each get a certain amount for the week in cash. It can go to lunch or Starbucks or whatever. Anything for the household or big purchases goes on cc to be paid off immediately at the end of the month. nana87 on "How often do you pay with cash?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-pay-with-cash#post-1356836 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:41:43 +0000 nana87 1356836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually pay cash if the purchase is less than $5 or $10, but credit card if it's more than that. Or if it's a big group thing, sometimes cash is easier--like, I was at a weekend bachelorette party a couple weeks ago and made sure to bring a ton of cash since it seemed easier to do that than splitting restaurant bills between like 10 cards sunny on "How often do you pay with cash?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-pay-with-cash#post-1356745 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:12:41 +0000 sunny 1356745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Almost never. Only if a place is cash only or if we are splitting a bill amongst a ton of people and its easier to do cash, though we almost never eat out after LO arrived so this doesn't happen :-) Dandelion on "How often do you pay with cash?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-pay-with-cash#post-1356739 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:10:20 +0000 Dandelion 1356739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just about never. chopsuey on "How often do you pay with cash?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-pay-with-cash#post-1356647 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:28:29 +0000 chopsuey 1356647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Rarely. My parents usually give us cash when they visit, so we'll use the cash we get for groceries and etc until it's all gone. Don't like carrying it around so we usually use our debit card. snowjewelz on "How often do you pay with cash?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-pay-with-cash#post-1356632 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:22:46 +0000 snowjewelz 1356632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ As long as I have cash... I have a debit card but I don't use it for some reason. bookwormmama on "How often do you pay with cash?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-pay-with-cash#post-1356605 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:13:06 +0000 bookwormmama 1356605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have been using cash to help control our spending, so recently a lot. We take out a set amount every paycheck for "fun" stuff. I actually save the change everyday in a jar and ended up with $200 from the past year! I was able to get a BRU gift card from coin star for no service charge. We are using it towards our glider.

Cash is filthy, nasty stuff and I'd rather not touch it unless absolutely necessary. mediagirl on "How often do you pay with cash?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-pay-with-cash#post-1356534 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 11:45:16 +0000 mediagirl 1356534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ For fun things - all cash!

I like to pay with my card that way I can track my spending.

I carry and "emergency $40" in my wallet, and usually some coins for parking meters or whatever, but everything else goes on the CC. I get the cash back rewards and I find it keeps me from buying small impulse items because I don't want to use my CC for just a cup of coffee or chocolate bar.

We usually stop by the ATM to get money specifically for those purchases.

Otherwise, never. Not even for a dollar coffee.

Most only take cash or check! And we only eat or get coffee or tea locally. They have signs saying please use cash if possible.

It's easier for me to track my spending when money is physically disappearing from my wallet, and then I don't have to worry about my debit card info being hacked. It's tough for big purchases like weekly grocery shopping though. yellowbird on "How often do you pay with cash?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-pay-with-cash#post-1356195 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:16:26 +0000 yellowbird 1356195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @autumnlove: never!
