I like debit card I really like to spend only the money I have and not the money I wish I had. I do have a credit card but I haven't used it in years I really just keep it in case of emergency.

I do agree with you. But in most cases, it seems that the card is controlling the user. I almost being control by my credit card.

I do use my Credit Card only when I travel out of country. I at time use when the value is high. I don't carry more cash in Hand and at the same time in credit card we have the provision paying cash late which is some time use for managing our money.

Hey, you are good. It seems you know how to manage your money. I think everyone should have 1 credit card just to use it during emergency. At all time we all should only either use debit card or cash. No matter how hard it is, it is the best way of spending.

Debit card because you spend the money you do have, and you dont have to wait and pay later.

You are right. You only spend according to your limit. By using debit card, you are in control.

I like debit card better than credit card. Atleast i don't have monthly payments etc like my friends. Plus itis easier to handle and earn money without one.

Wow, 5 credit card ? Can you manage all your credit card. Have you spend over credit limit for at least one of your credit card ?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think debit card also can be use in internet as long as you still have money in it. Right ?

I have a card that is both credit and debit. I prefer to use it as a credit card because if I use debit I get charged a small fee by my bank. Other than that I like to get bonus miles from my United Mileage credit card.
