      Obglatory not OP, but… When I was younger and pretty broke I preferred paying cash. It was very easy to keep track of my spending rate and there was no risk of getting declined.

      I have to wonder what kind of child hears someone say that they pay in cash rather than use a card and assume that they’re rich.

      I have to imagine you are so fiscally deficient that the 2% or so card transaction fee doesn’t even register to you. Did you know that especially some Mom and Pop shops will charge less when using cash for that very reason? Gas stations even advertise cash rates for gas.

      Ignorance and arrogance are a horrible combo.
