I don't know how people have never used an ATM card. I NEVER carried cash in college every time we'd go out first stop was the ATM - MDH Jul 2, 09:17 26
- Ummm... if you don't use/need cash then why are you going to an ATM? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 2, 09:23 6
  - One of the bars was cash only, so if we went there or absolutely needed it. Now that I've graduated I never use cash or ATM - MDH Jul 2, 09:29
  - Well, in Canada, a Debit/ATM card can be used at almost every retailer in the country for cashless transactions. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 09:25 4
    - and has been like that for years and years. i don't think there's anywhere you can't use it. - Andie Jul 2, 09:26
    - he said he never used cash but what was he doing going to the ATM so often? -- nm - zork Jul 2, 09:26 1
      - Oh, I see - yes, there is a bit of a logical glitch there -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 09:27
    - But you don't need to go to an ATM for those transactions :) -- nm - Roger More Jul 2, 09:26
- I am borderline obsessive about monitoring my spending and cash is the best way to visualize. -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:22 16
  - Aren't you, like, an adult now? -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 09:27 3
    - What is that supposed to mean? -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:28 2
      - personally I think it is more mature to use cash than to spend blindly on plastic, like a lot of people your age do. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 09:50
      - Best way to visualize spending money? - Spawn Jul 2, 09:30
  - I'm the other way. cash just floats away, but I have a record of all the card transactions. -- nm - mafic Jul 2, 09:24 11
    - [deleted]
    - I maintain a detailed Excel spreadsheet about every cent I spend, how it fits in with my daily and monthly budget, over/unders, and avg spending rate. - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:27 5
      - I do that too (but quicken, not excel). I just put cash in a category all its own, and try not to ever use it. - mafic Jul 2, 09:31
      - I maintain a track too, but cash I never remember, hence I use my card every time -- nm - MDH Jul 2, 09:30
      - Are you the eldest (or only) sibling in your family? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 09:28 2
        
        I'm older than my one brother, yes. Is this a very older child thing to do? - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:31 1
        
        It can be, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 09:32
    - ditto. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 09:25 3
      - true, but paying cash seems to "hurt" more and some people think twice before spending then. -- nm - zork Jul 2, 09:27 2
        
        word -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:32
        
        not if you've ever worked a job that pays cash daily :) -- nm - 'lia Jul 2, 09:30
- I've gone months without touching cash. I've gone years without talking to a real bank teller. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 09:22 1
  - yeah. the only time I talk to actual bank people is dealing with foreign exchange. -- nm - mafic Jul 2, 09:23
it's weird re-getting used to ST going back to your page position (in FF3.5) -- nm - zork Jul 2, 09:17 4

- Wow. Getting medical care at a tire store? No national health care for me, thanks! -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 09:20 2
  - Sounds like you have too much pressure. You might want to have your mechanic check that out -- nm - Roger More Jul 2, 09:27 1
    - Drain out all the water, take in plenty of oil, grease up that back end, get out on the highway and go at full speed for about ten miles. -- nm - Terrence 'Doc' Williams Jul 2, 09:35
- *lines up for five hours* -- nm - Canadians Jul 2, 09:19 2
