I use cash and cash only. i haven't used plastic or credit cards ever since because my income is not enough for me to qualify to apply for a credit card. And even if I have a bigger income I did not even dare to apply for a credit card because I prefer to use cash.

i definately will use cash because of a bad experience using plastic. i once visited jaipur and purchased an art piece and paid thru plastic. i immediately got sms in my mobile about the purchase and immediate got another sms crediting me with the same amount once again. as the sms showed my available balance i at once went to the counter showed them the sms and asked why they had swiped twice. they refused and i was not ready to give up. finally i asked them for a letter in their letter pad stating that i had purchased for so much money only with them on the said date using the card etc. after i came out of the shop in few minutes i received another sms stating the last transaction was canceled by the buyer... my god the anxiety i went thru in a new place was terrible. i can never forget the incident

I would prefer cash these days. I had once used the credit card and left with an awful debt. Till noe I'm still paying it slowly after I canceled it. It just the drive to buy things that we really didn't need by credit cause we really didn't see any cash involved at that moment, only after we received the bill. lol.
