i would prefer to use cash rather than credit cards because if i pay thru credit card, i would still have to worry about paying it in due time. unlike if i use cash, there's no more worry and the transaction is easier. well, that is IF i have enough cash hehe

I always prefer using cash. Its because we know our limit and don't try to go beyond our pocket's limit. Credit cards and debit cards make us spend more than what we have. Of course, debit cards are much preferred when it comes to plastic money.

I try to use cash more often so that I don't accidentally lose track of how much I have charged. Also, it might help me spend a little less if I use cash, cause it tends to be harder to part with. lol

I prefer to use credit card to pay. And will use it whereever the retail shop accepted it. I have 5 credit cards and I only actively use 2 out of the 5 cards. The reason for me to use the 2 active cards is that they are co branded card and I will be given discount when I use the card to buy their products. One of the co branded card is with a petrol company and it help me to save up to 10%, and the other one is with an airline, it help me to accumulate mileages for air ticket. The other 3 cards are more for standby, just in case my credit limit is max out, I can use it when I really need it.

before i have a credit card,i tend to use cash all the time,and sometimes if i didn't take enough money,for example,i found a new bag and i didn't plan to buy previously,my friends with me will pay it first,then i will pay them back.it's sort of like a credit card,i always said to my friends that. and later,i got a credit card,not long before,several days back,so now i think i will use my credit card everywhere with a pos machine.it's interesting for me coz it's my first time to use a credit card.

i prefer to use cash because i will have some kind of spending limit, and also i wouldnt have to worry about paying it in due time with interest. =)

I prefer to use credit cards or debit cards because I consider them a lot safer and I don't want to bring a lot of cash with me.

If possible, I always like to use credit card. It's much more convenient and I don't have to carry lots of money. It's safe. Besides, I can use future money. And the bank will give me some gifts according to my consuming amount.
