The Pros & Cons of Carrying Around Cash

August 18, 2011

We live in a plastic world. Credit cards, debit cards and even our insurance cards are made of plastic! Does this mean the days of carrying cold hard cash are over? No way. There are definite benefits to carrying around cash in addition to, or even instead of, your plastic payment cards.

Here are some pros and cons to carrying around…

Heather is a wife and mom of two living in the great state of Texas. She loves to work with children and spend time with her family. Heather loves to write about family, frugality and parenthood. When she was a little girl, her mother always told her that one day she would be a writer. She planned to be an actress, a teacher AND a lawyer but told her mom she would never, ever, be a writer. Fast forward 20 or so years, and the biggest lesson Heather has learned is that your mom is always right.

Heather started using coupons and shopping sales to save her family money and it caught the interest of everyone around her. To keep from repeating the same thing over and over again, she started a blog to share her love of great deals and fun, frugal living. You can find her blogging at Family Friendly Frugality and over at A Southern Mom.

Heather is delighted to help others shop smart and spend wisely.
