Debit cards are a life saver. I never write checks when I'm shopping anymore. I love the convience of using a debit card. How many of you use debit cards? I believe debit cards have revoultionalized our ability to go shopping without overspending. They are actually better than a credit card, no finance charges, they allow you to only spend what you have and they are so darn convient. What do you think, checks or debit card. I have really been fortunate I remember to log what I spend and have never bounced my account because I forgot to write down what I spend. What about you how often do you use yours?

I always use my debit card as well, there are only a few bills I have to write checks for. I don't like to carry cash on me it always comes up missing so my debit card really comes in handy. The majority of my bills I now pay online.

I also pay the majority of my bills online as well. I can't remember when I last ordered checks from the bank. I sure would be lost without my debit card.

I love my debit card! I use it for almost everything. You're right -- they have the convenience of a credit card without all the extra charges. I love that you can pay at the pump to get gas with them. I also love the quickness of using one as opposed to writing a check. I don't know what I would do without mine.

I agree I sure don't miss writing checks when I purchase something. They are so quick and easy to use, I don't know what I would do without mine either.

I loved and used my debit card a lot when I was working because my check was direct deposited into my checking account. I still have it but I don't use it as much now becauseI got laid off and I don't have the funds going into my account. Got to be careful with my spending.
Take care.

I moved from NY to NM and thats when I started to only use my debit card. So I use it everytime I go shopping. I find it very easy and convenient. Plus I know what I can spend and what I can't spend. Its so much better than a credit card. As for credit cards I don't like them at all.
