Evaluate Your Spending Behaviors
It is important to consider your spending habits before choosing a payment method. Paying attention to how and when you spend money can help inform which option may be best for you. Do you know when you are most likely to overspend? Do you find it easier to make a purchase on credit or lose track of where your cash was spent?
If you are carrying a large credit balance or struggling to stay on top of payments, sticking to cash whenever possible may help you pay down debt. Dave Ramsey popularized the envelope method encouraging people to use cash whenever possible.
