Use cash. Why would anyone want to leave a footprint of everything you buy or go?

I always wonder how people keep an exact balance of their account when they swipe their card for so many small transactions. I've only used my debit card once in my life. At the grocery store after I had been rung up I realized that I left my money at home. My normal practice is to get cash from the ATM and pay cash for transactions under $100, Visa for larger transactions.

I intentionally leave a footprint. Never know when I might need an alibi.

I have two checking accounts at Wells Fargo, they require $1500 minimum balance on each account so that they don't charge me a service fee.

Altura credit union lets you have free checking as long as you have a credit card with them.

I don't think there are ANY required debit swipes as long as you use the credit card with some regularity.
