Credit keeps charging! I admit this mistake/misuse of credit card. I typically spend more than 20% of what I should buy. So, typically, I leave my credit card at home and just only use it when I completely know what to buy.

A great tip! That’s why I always try to have cash on me when I’m out – that way it’s much easier to keep an eye on how much I’m spending.

Great advice. I actually like using cash when making small amount of purchases, and this reminds me of every expense should be wiser because I tend to be an impulsive buyer when I use a credit card.

This is certainly excellent advice. When one is parting with cash there is that hesitation and second thoughts. One questions their purchases even at the till. Not so much with a card where you are not parting with anything physical. And once cash is spent…well, that puts an end to the spending spree until you can replenish.
