A number of years ago I wrote a post about why we don't use cash and use a debit card instead. Then my husband began a battle with depression and took almost a month off work while he got the help he needed and leveled back out again. We had enough coming in from short-term disability to pay for our bills (barely) but there wasn't enough left for groceries. Between what I had left from our lumberjack competition "running money" and from selling things we didn't need, I was able to buy our … [Read more...]
