Did you not see the part where I acknowledged that they can open one, it just takes more effort. How loving stupid are you that you can't read my very nuanced post, kill you're famil.

i also usually have my card out before i get the tab because i like to be efficient and dont like chit chat if i have to look at the tab i probably shouldnt have been there in the first place.

The classy drinker, right here. Have your card ready.

Don't be all HUR HUR OH NOES LET ME GET OUT MY SWEATY STINKY CASH *Coins fall all over the floor* OH no I'm sorry, hang on let me pick all of that up *shits pants*

Re Tipping: If you have cash you can "run out" and not have enough for a tip, making you a tremendous rear end in a top hat. Avoid this by using plastic, sucka.

If you are going out to a restaurant or small business stop at the ATM on the way because often credit card processing companies charge like 5% of each transaction for small accounts, so you are literally denying money to some of the worst scum on earth if you pay with cash.

money order.

some people live a cash based life.

some people have cards and use them when appropriate, but aren't trying to swipe for an .89 candy bar. you should always carry some cash.

Pfft. The only time you need cash is at the Casino (Use hte ATM sucka), at the strip club, or at the farmers market or some disconnected area.

Everything else there is no reason you shouldn't at least have a debit card to make major transactions.

Its not even about credit or investing. Its about having the ability to budget and the self control to have access to your money and NOT spend it.

I just can't think of a situation where not having a FREE debit card on hand is more beneficial than operating in cash/relying on ATMs/paying for money orders.

debit cards don't have the consumer protections credit cards have

can't buy illegal goods with a debit card either

it's the worst of both worlds with the positives of neither

The idea is that you invest the money you have for a period before you use it to pay off your credit card.

Oh yeah, I want to get that awesome new game online! WHERE DO I GO WITH MY CASH!? GTFO with that noise.

Awesome a Steam sale! Ok lemme get in my car, go to the ATM, withdraw money, go to the store, buy a steam gift card (AND PAY TAX ON IT), drive back home, input the code. OH NOES, I'm short a few bux, lets REDO THE ENTIRE THING AGAIN.

Or, grab the debit/credit card, punch in the numbers, DONE. There is literally no way cash is superior to plastic/electronic funds in 2015 for most major transactions. You cut yourself out of like 80% of the economy when you refuse to get a FREE Debit card.

Your two examples of possible purchases online are both video games lol

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I agree. I also believe that businesses that try to make you do a minimum purchase with credit because of card fees are the scum of the universe. I hate small businesses and want them to suffer. I report them to the card companies for violating their agreements, and then if they still have minimum purchase amounts for credit after that, I firebomb their stores and burn their houses to the ground.

Waa waa I'm a small business and your usage of a card for a 2 dollar purchase is costing me money. Like I care. It's 2015, evolve or die.

Nice here's my take on the TAH (topic at hand or T@H)


Kill yourself. Today Neukoln is declaring Fatwa's on those that don't have debit cards or only use cash.

Its 2015, and these things are literally FREE. You don't need a bank account, you don't need a credit card, you don't even need to leave the freakin' house. Its like the height of laziness and irresponsibility to refuse to participate in our economy and expect the red carpet from folk.

Aaaaaaand another thing. What the hell is it with people with absolutely no credit history, no insurance history, and tons of stuff in collections or whatever and then believing Obama or the NSA or whoever is coming for their info.

Yeah, Obama and Eric Holder wants to come and take over your trailer in Bumfuck, Kentucky, better not let anyone get your birthday EVER. But yeah, you just posted your entire work life on facebook and continuously google how to file registration numbers off of guns. But no, you've got one over on the government hiding our poo poo.

I grow weary of dealing with people that are just ridiculously obtuse, paranoid, and all around huge pain in my rear end. If you don't have a debit card and you're posting on the forums, you need to have an unplanned rapid dis-assembly right now.
