I still rather cash in hand. That's how I have always purchased anything and if you don't have that cash, then you don't get what it is you think you want/need.

He tells me how it's better too if there is a missing cc that was used without our knowledge and why it's better to use it than the debit card.

I prefer that we save up as much as possible for emergencies and just leave that in a separate account.

I want us so badly to be debt free too.

We are having a Dave Ramsey study at our church – I think it will be 2 months or a month or something like that, but I'm not sure we will go…depends if the dh thinks we need this.

But yes our goal here is to be debt free. I do not trust that card.

Her's to rooting for you.
