I am in college right now, and writting a speech project on why our school cafe should start accepting credit cards as a form of payment. Last week, I have the oppertunity to complete a survey in school, where I asked 100 students, if they had any cash on their person and if so, have they eaten lunch at school? I was not shocked at all by the response that I got. 83 students had no cash but had credit/debit cards and were all hungry and didnt want to leave school, 5 students had neither cash or credit/debit cards, and 12 students had cash and did in fact eat in the school cafe. Our college has around 4500 students. I personly perfer not to carry cash. There are a few restaurants that I eat at that I know do not accept credit/debit cards, and I try to avoid going to them with all intentions. Cash is extreamly evil. It burns holes in my wallet. I have 3 credit cards, and only use them when I have to, ex. vacations,trips ect... Thank you for hearing my side. - Jim I have read everyones messages, and I feel that credit cards are the best way to go.

But, I have recently found myself using it a bit more. I do not use CCs but a debit card. I do this so i can track all of my expenses. I just download and import into quicken and whalah the stark reality of my spending is right in front of me. That is the primary reason i hate cash. I can't track how i use it with minimal effort. for a long time i never used cash either. But, I have recently found myself using it a bit more. I do not use CCs but a debit card.
