Do you use cash? Why?

Still use cash, debit card (bankcard) and credit card (as long I am carefull) Using Debit or credit cards, they can easly be replaced than cash! Cash it good for areas not accepting other form of payments!

Well everyone has a different taste of making payments through.I use both cash and debit card.I use cash for most things,debit card when I'm low on cash.Most of the debit cards here doesn't need PIN to pay for purchases at stores so if your card gets lost it could possibly get misused.

I do occasionally use cash, but usually it is only at places that are small and don't take debit or credit. I went to one Vietnamese restaurant with my brother for lunch and I didn't think about it before I went in. My brother asked me if I had cash because they didn't take plastic. A lot of small businesses haven't got into the plastic stage yet so it is still necessary to use cash. Most of the time I do use debit because I don't like to carry a lot of cash around. Besides, when laundry day shows up, I need to still get quarters and it is hard to do that with plastic.

Cash is the only thing 100% reliable, as most shops will NOT accept any kind of card. I have my bank account in which I earn my salary, and have a debit card with it, only to find that I have used it only 2 or 3 times in more than 3 years. It's easy to find why. From my everyday life, all take cash. For the bus, only coins, many small kiosks of course take cash only (very ridiculous to pay candies with a card) the food stores most take cash too (or cards for higher amounts purchases). At the supermarket, again with cash only. Look around and you'll see that in most commerces cards doesn't exist. We NEED cash to our everyday life. The only thing I consider using my debit card is for big, occasional purchases, like my notebook, a LCD screen or for very big amounts, like a rent or service. Otherwise it's useless. Oh one more thing, to draw cash out of the ATM machine

i use cash in everything i buy. i don't have cards though there are offers. i don't like bills at the end of the month well besides the electricity but i am not the paying for them yet. but yeah i don't like bills, so as much as possible i pay right away. yeah it is not easy to steal your money when you have a card, but my mom hates it because there are two separate events that she lost some amount from her card and stupid bank can't even answer her questions about it!

Well, I use both cash and debit because with cash I have a little more self control to spend my money as oppose to using a debit card where I have that careless need to spend money almost like using a debit card. Besides some places don't accept debit so you're force to bring cash. Some places there's a limit that allows you to use the debit card and I'm not buying extra just so I can use my debit card. If someone steels your debit card they can spend it as well because nowadays some places aren't even asking for your pin number. They ask you either credit or debit and if you say credit then you don't have to enter your pin number.

I mostly use cash, for me its easier to keep track of my spending that way and so many places charge an extra fee to use a card around here that I prefer cash for that reason as well. It annoys me to be charged to use my own money.

sometimes, some restaurants and market have a limit cash to debit or credit. when i shop only for fews, then i used cash. i bring cash just in case there is something bad happen like accident. and i don't keep it on my wallet to be safe. i hope there is no one can stole it

Here in India the credit card/debit card culture has yet to seep in. I have no intention to go for a credit card but do possess a debit card which I use. But in small shops where there is no such facility cash transaction is the only solution. I am vary of online transactions and so never use my debit card there.

For me, it depends on purchases. I prefer to pay with cash if I spend less than $5 to $10. For people living in developed countries like US and Europe, many people just use credit and debit card for the sake of convenience. Maybe they are lazy to go to the bank to withdraw some cash, or they want to build credit history (if they are college students), or they try to meet the minimum requirements set forth in their back account, etc. I read an article about more than a month ago. Some smart thieves were able to get pin numbers of any credit/debit cards using certain technology. How? One person were able to implant a tiny camera (very small thing that is hardly noticeable) on the credit card or debit card machine on each cashier's station. Consider this: If one never carry cash, he/she will not be able to help anyone that needs small changes anytime. I carry small cash up to $20. That is still big. People that use public transportation will need to have small changes handy unless if they have passes.

We ordinary people who are not in debt still use cash! Looking at my local supermarket, you will find 99% of customers use cash. I hate it when someone with a credit card is in the line in front of me. You just know it will take five minutes or more to validate the card.

I like the real things that can hold in hands. I usually pay witch cach. I do not like electronic money.

If we only pay a little money,cash is more convenient than debit and credit.We know cash may be stolen.What about the credit? It wil also have the code on the net by the risk of pilfer and then we will lost even more money .In my opinion,nothing in the world is flawless and perfect .So I use cash and credit.

People tend to use cash because its simply QUICK and EFFECTIVE. I know that with a card you can make an easy pay but with cash you can buy anything. And when i say anything i mean like buying coke from an outside soda machine or any small item that costs around 1 buck

cash is really important in our place.only few merchants accept debit cards.mostly, the only accept credit cards.those cards are not yet so popular here and i feel like this place is so obsolete.i make sure that i get myself updated, thus i have both cards so that when i have the chance to go to other places i am ready for them. i use these cards to get plane tickets and buy expensive items like laptops and digicam.

Yes, using the debit and credit cards are easier than bringing cash everywhere. However, we I will know my expenses for the month weeks later when the bank print the sheet. When there were so many purchases shown in the debit and credit cards often I confused; did I do all those purchases? Are they all mine? Was there someone else using my cards? Did the cashier charge my card twice? So, for small amount of purchases I'd like to use cash, so I can easily track my debit and credit usages.

Currently I use cash for small things, and I plan to get a Debit Card for my big money, and a tip to get your paper money new again, is to add it to your bank account, then cashout it on the ATM as new paper .

Actually I used to be one of the many that only used debit cards/ or credit cards for all my purchases, but after i got laid off and readjusted my budget I saw that i wasted so much money from using my debit card. I got charged extra at the gas station, and extra in a lot of stores every time i purchase for less than 5 or $10. So I use my cards, but i always carry extra cash for small shopping and putting gas in my car.

It's necessary for me to take some cash because credit cards are not always available where I'm living. Debit an credit cards have a lot of advantages, for example, they are easier to take and safer than cash. But we must use cash when we take bus or do some laundry. What's more, we may go unnecessary shopping in the supermarket without noticing using debit and credit cards.I think that's why there are still a lot of people using cash.

in India most of the people use cash because most of the people here are not interested in using cards
