I now only purchase exactly the dollar amount I meant to spend (your coins in pocket comment is very apt). I have better purchase protection from retail stores (lost your receipt? no problem), reporting stolen cards is easier then reporting stolen cash (i.e. not at all), etc.<br /><br />I do, however, prefer Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03460928347997657358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363346176357438290.post-59657497696360009282009-11-27T11:58:16.606-07:002009-11-27T11:58:16.606-07:00@Hollis

When I don't have cash on me, the answer is simply "I don't have cash on me," or it's time to pull out the debit or visit an ATM.<br /><br />Either option, as you point out, is annoying, so we end up spending less.<br /><br />Great post.Wojciech Kulickihttp://www.fiscalfizzle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363346176357438290.post-9142904862434538932009-11-27T10:28:59.386-07:002009-11-27T10:28:59.386-07:00I believe that the saying "cash is king"...I believe that the saying "cash is king" means pretty much what it says. If you have cash, money or something that can instantly be turned into money, you are in the best, least-risky, most-able-to-negotiate position.
