The easier it is to drain your account, the quicker it will empty.

Petty cash purchases should be made out of petty cash.

Debit cards are like a check without the writing and delay in processing. Credit cards create a debt balance that might wind up including interest.

But, I’d also be damn near a millionaire. ;-)
