Why can’t you just use your credit card?



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

Then you're not using the mobile site. You're viewing the full site on your phone. On my phone (blackberry) I use the mobile edition.

I don't buy enough of anything that's sold at a big box warehouse store to make any kind of savings by shopping there.

I used to love Costco. I bought most of my meat there ... and quite a lot of alcohol, lol. And some other things like diapers, cat food, home office supplies, shampoo, cereal ... and saved a ton of money buy doing so. Alas ... no big box warehouse near here.

The point is that you DO have extra money coming in besides your 2 paychecks.

I don't know your situation or why you do this but OH, MY I am surprised you have not been attacked on this board for doing so. I have gotten berated for accepting Christmas money (as a gift) from my own parents, not monthly rent, but Christmas gifts.

Not everyone who allocates their money differently than you is doing it wrong. I couldn't care less how you budget your money or how you spend it. What seems silly is snide comments about how anyone doing it differently from you doesn't understand finances.

I have said that in the past until I realized how much money I saved.

It's not EXTRA money. We have three income sources. Big Whoop.

Not much different than egd having one income source and you having two. It doesn't mean your household has "extra" income.

and, FWIW, I've qualified for both of my home loans and my car loan WITHOUT including child support in the calculations.
