    Too True! That’s why we went to cash only! After a big credit card debt (that we paid off little-by-little, high-interest-to-low-interest), if we ain’t got it, we can’t spend it! It’s worked for 20+ years. House paid off, cars paid off, credit cards paid off in full at the end of the month (when we’re forced to use them). A little money to help the kids. Cash left over at the end of the month. Takes some really painful discipline at times.

    Good idea! If you just stuff a lot of receipts, especially long ones from groceries, into a purse, they might come jumping out sometime like novelty snakes-from-a-can. Which might, however, foil purse snatchers.

    I hardly ever use cash anymore. I put almost everything on my credit card. First of all there is cash back (I pay off the balance every weekend) and they do the bookkeeping for me.

    Even when I use my card, I get a receipt. Unfortunately, most of them are medical services.

    And if you flip it like one of those animated page flippers, you can see your money flying away! ☺

    Aunty, if you do that all you will have is room in your purse for more receipts. You have to learn to budget your money Aunty.

    I gave up on coupons a long time ago. Way too much work to keep track of them for me. Once in a while maybe, but mostly, no.

    But if you don’t keep the receipts you won’t realize you’re broke.

    our receipts sit on the desk in front of the computer for a couple days until there’s time to enter them into the household accounts ledger. then they get shredded…

    I like to save checkbook registers (if you need an explanation of that, email me at i’mold@justkidding.com) to see what things used to cost.

    Yup. We paid everything off when we sold the house. We don’t use credit cards anymore.
