Going cash only cuts down greatly on impulse purchases since you can't spend money that you don't have with you. If there is only $30 in you wallet when you go to the store, you can't decide to pick up that new boxed DVD set of your favorite TV show for $75, for example. With a credit card, of course, you could just charge it and worry about it later. So if you are prone to doing stuff like that, cash may be the way to go until you get your spending under control.
