Why can’t you just use your credit card?



Cash can be seen and touched and kids get that, usually at an early age,

I think it is true...<5-6 years> I have learned my lesson and will now upgrade my warranties and or add warranty coverage to my appliance for more than a year.

I bought a new washing machine and dryer at Sears about three years ago, and they started in with that nonsense about buying an extended warranty.

Hmm, we always turn down the extended warranty. Maybe I should take you shopping with me next time.

I do have my taxes, etc escrowed ... but that's mainly because I don't have a choice. The mortgage I have requires it to be escrowed.

Requires? That stinks.

I had enough of them asking for more money each year to hold in escrow and increases my mortgage. I pay my mortgage monthly, directly taken out of my checking account, pay my taxes twice a year, write a check to Town Hall and pay my homeowner's insurance once a year, put on my credit card, pay at end of the month so I can get my 3% back.
