I agree completely. I never said I couldn't use cash responsibly. I do it all the time. At the end of each month, though, nobody mails me a list of all the cash purchases I made. At the end of the year, nobody mails me a breakdown of all my cash purchases for the year, sorted by category like auto, dining, travel, entertainment, etc. My credit card does that.

And, most importantly, when I use cash, nobody sends me a check rebating part of my spending and nobody sends me certificates for free hotel stays. My credit cards do that very nicely.

I have no problem at all with people using cash. I just prefer to get the rewards that come from using the credit card and not having to walk around with lots of cash on me.
