Credit/Debit card #'s stolen again! **Rant**

Cash cash cash

Wife and I are using the envelope system. Pain in the ass at times but it's working and I don't worry about CC numbers getting swiped.

Im with you on this. I like to carry cash and pay in cash as it takes the opportunity for fraud out of the equation.

cash also leaves you with the possibility of a lost or stolen wallet, being mugged (less likely with this group) and offers 0 protection should your cash be taken. a credit card requires a phone call and the charges disappear. protecting the number as best as you can works out great.

Money clip in a front pocket leaves it out reach of pick pockets. It's no more vulnerable to the other ^^^^things than cc in a wallet in your pocket. I've never lost a wallet or keys in the last 20 years so not too concerned there. Had fraud on a debit and credit card? Yup and got screwed on one of them to the tune of $800. I'll stick to good ole fashioned cash. Saves you money also by avoiding fees ect.

How do you figure?

Lose wad full of cash it's gone, likely never to be seen again.

Lose credit card, you cancel ASAP, and any unauthorized charges can be reversed.
