Kyndal and I went out tonight to get a bite to eat while Daddy was at the Men's Meeting. We walked up to order and was asked if we were paying with Cash..... well of course we always try to pay for things with cash. So apparently tonight if we didn't have cash we wouldn't have eaten there because their computer system is down. Hear this ...... Cash always works.
AND..... it Saves you Money
"When you pay cash, you can "feel" the money leaving you. This is not true with credit cards. Flipping a credit card up on a counter registers nothing emotionally. If you use credit cards instead of cash you will spend 12-18% more. This is money you could have saved." - Dave
We have used Dave Ramsey's principle on cash for several years now..... pay with cash and you will spend less. I do believe this. Bret also informed me this week that statistics are showing that people are even spending more when they have the "blink" cards were they don't even have to swipe but just wave them in front of the cc machine. Hum ... this savings might be worth some experimenting of your own :)

Josh and I have thought about going to the cash system for grocery shopping for the same reason. I usually do pretty large grocery trips, so I don't feel comfortable in carrying around that much money. However, we have thought about doing this with the grocery shopping for a couple months as an experiment and see how it goes.
