Empty Wallet
Checking out at Wal-Mart, I was among dozens of other shoppers with carts loaded up and anxious to pay for their purchases so they could get home or on their way. I used my charge card to pay for the basket full of odds and ends, and I realized that I probably spent a little more freely knowing that I would be paying with my charge card. If I had needed to use cash, I doubt I would have bought as many things. I tend to be more frugal with my cash, I don’t carry much and don’t like to spend it unless I have to. In fact, if the store doesn’t accept credit cards, I probably won’t even shop there unless they are the sole provider of that product or service and I have no choice in the matter.
