Cash
Has anyone operated on a cash-only basis for everything but online purchases (and surprise emergencies, like $165 surgery bills)?
This article (link thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

In a typical coincidence, yesterday I received a refund on a product I returned two weeks ago. The company said expect a 30-day refund delay, so I paid my credit card bill in full on Monday. Now I have nearly $100 in credit on my card--that's after the bill for the stitches, and a consolation pizza dinner Monday night.
Starting now, I'm going to use the credit card only when necessary. I'll run this experiment through the end of August. It will be an interesting exercise.
