Pay cash! We started doing that in 1999, and we cut our spending by 20%. Still do it now, eight years later. We have no debt, and plenty of money saved and invested. Using cash really stops unnecessary spending. The first rule of personal finance is that you've got to spend less than you earn. Using cash keeps you away from the credit cards. Absolutely! Pay cash!

For years my wife and I only used our debit cards, and never carried cash because we thought we couldn't control ourselves with cash. Well every month for two years we went over on our grocery budget... every single time. I finally listened to her, and we changed over to using cash envelopes for some of our budgets, including grocery. We have been using the envelopes for four months now, and have NEVER gone over on the grocery budget since. We even DECREASED OUR GROCERY budget, and we still get by just fine every time!

While this article may not be aimed at me, I think its still a pretty good idea that I should use cash more. Even though I don't spend more than I have I would probably buy less crap if I felt the sting of handing over cash with every purchase.
