Cash or credit
Keeping cash on hand can be a great way to avoid overspending. You can choose exactly how much cash you're willing to spend, carry it with you, and stop spending when you're out of cash. For some people, cash can "burn a hole" in their wallet meaning the temptation of easily accessible cash can lead to undesired spending. When you pay cash for purchases, you know you already have the money to buy the items. That's unless you are using money that should be reserved for something else. Some businesses will give you a discount on the price of an item if you pay cash instead of using a credit card. Why? Because stores have to pay a fee to the credit card company for every transaction. But cash purchases can be harder to track. You can look in your wallet and have no idea where that $20 bill went! Keep receipts somewhere safe so you can track where your money goes.
When you use a credit card, you're really taking out a loan. Credit-card companies and banks that issue credit cards are letting you borrow their money when you use their cards. If you don't pay what you owe in full and on time that month, you'll have to pay interest on the balance you owe. You will be in debt.
The biggest advantage to paying with cash is that you're limited to how much you can spend. If you don't have the money in your wallet, you're not able to just swipe away your savings. In addition, you don't have to pay a credit card company any annual fees when you carry cash. You don't have to worry about missing a monthly payment and having your credit card company sock you with late payment fees and interest. Finally, some companies don't take credit cards; they accept only cash.
