I thought this article was so interesting because I've been doing the exact same thing.
I used to use my credit cards all the time, but lately I'm only using my debit and cash and never touching my cards at all.
I see now that a lot of other people are doing the same.
Credit card use plunges as hard times drag on, debit use rises
I've been doing this since 2000. If I can't afford to pay cash for something I can't have it. Goes a long way toward teaching yourself the difference between what you want and what you need.
