Great tip, TStrump! We leave our credit home most of the time as well. I take one on trips, for just in case situations.

Being an accountant, I’m usually the gatekeeper on other people’s finances.
One thing I no do, is leave my credit card at home.

Interesting. I’m trying to teach my kids these concepts. The other day my daughter fell in love with a puppet at a local boutique. She asked if we could go home and get her money so she could buy it. (She’s already well trained!) I told her I’d be happy to take her back to the store the next day – after she had time to sleep on it. Often, we want something NOW, but we’ll forget about it by tomorrow if we give ourselves a chance!
