>> mellody hobson suggests that you pay with cash. >> financial pundits have long predicted our transformation to a cashless society. online payment, debit card and prepaid cards have sky rocketed. cash accounts for just 14% of the total value of transactions the average american makes each month. it's not just large purchases. these days, there's no shame in using plastic to buy everything from a pack of gum to a bottle of water. the smartphone has further distanced us from our wallets. paying with mobile apps is transforming the way we spend. nearly eight in ten americans carry less than $50 in cash. now while the cashless trend is great for banks and credit card companies, you should be wary, why?
7:24 am
simply put, studies show we spend as much as 18% more when paying with credit or debit cards. the added expense comes down to psychology. putting a purchase on a card doesn't quite feel like spending money. there is no cash withdrawal and no dwindling stack of bills in your pocket. plastic is just so easy. not to mention there are all of those incentives, points, cash back, online discounts. so it's not surprising that as a country we owe $733 yell i don't know in credit card debt with the average household more than $15,000 in the hole. i say stop digging. here is a challenge. for just one week, pay for everything with cash. dinner with friends? cash. your weekly manicure? cash. filling up the pump? pay cash. if you complete my one week cash challenge your more likely to stick to essentials.
