Nowadays, its becoming robust that people prefer cards in paying almost every sort of bills. For whatever reasons,security and comfortability exceeds among others.What if people dont have cards, of course we opt to pay in cash. Diff. currencies means diff. level of purchasing power, and the need to exchange from one to another.What intrigues me is the thought that although others hve cash to offer still some opted for a card....?

Owning a credit card gives you a false sense of purchasing power. You can buy anything anytime till you exceed your limit, and it gives you a different kind of high and a feeling of being rich even for a day. But you're zapped back to reality when you see your bill and realize that you spent more than you had to. Personally, I prefer cash than plastic because I have control over my expenses that way. If I have no cash, I can't buy anything period. I'll have to make do with what I have and wait till my salary comes.
On the other hand, I believe some people who has cash and still opts to use their cards are those who wants their cash on standby in case of emergency expenses. Or maybe some of them just like the idea of being safe by not having to bring cash in the presence of a card. There are lots of possible reasons why we prefer the one over the other. To each his own, and people go for the one that suits them best.
