Default Re: Money Myths - Saving Money

Do you really think McDonald's started accepting credit cards (and the additional fees they incur) because it was more convienent for their customers? C'mon now, you're smarter than that
- People using credit cards in fast food restaurants spend up to 50 percent more than when they pay cash
I think if you're operating on a written budget that you've made before the month begins, that you can stick with using a cashback credit card and not fall into that "spend more b/c it's plastic" category. I started using a cashback cc 6 months ago and have noticed no uptick in my spending. It's because my wife and I have a plan at the beginning of the month on where the money is going and we stick to that plan.
