But a trip to the bank every day? What a pain in the behind. I like my debit card, no muss, no fuss and I have a record of each expenditure in my checkbook. If I need cash, I can get cash back at the grocery checkout by using the debit option. For online transactions, I try to use PayPal as often as possible. More and more sellers are offering that option. It conceals my credit card info - I like that.

No, not every day. I go about once a week, maybe twice if I have a trip coming up. I don't spend near $300 a day, or even a week. I generally take out $200 or so, and I always put 10-20% aside so that when I have a little extra spending to do, I can pull some cash out of the stash and use it. As I said, on big-ticket items and internet purchases, I use the credit card (and paypal on occasion). I also buy gas on CC bacause I get 5% back on gas purchase.

It helps that my bank has branches in very convenient locations so I can stop by the drive-through ATM just about any time I want.
