Hubby and I were in the city for 6D 5N. While hubby was attending a 3D 2N seminar, I was staying at my uncle’s place.
Overall, we spent less than RM100 on food, shampoo, toothpaste, parking fees and discounted trousers during the trip. Unbelievable, right?
You see, hubby’s meals and seminar, petrol and accommodation fees were all fully paid by his school while my accommodation and meals at my uncle’s house were free.
Whenever I went out with my uncle’s family or my sisters, they were the ones who insisted on making payments.
My younger sister who knew my financial woes better kept buying foods and clothes for me. Of course, she paid cash. I am happy that she loves using cash, not credit cards.
I only realize the power of using cash after I was so deeply in credit card debt and had to sign up with a free debt management program called AKPK debt management programme (DMP) in my country.
I am grateful that I was approved of the debt repayment application last October and given a chance to bring my financial ruin back on track without having to declare bankruptcy.
Use cash, if you don’t want to end up in a debt management program to help you get out of credit card debt. 
Use cash so that you don’t have to pay high interest rates, late payment fees, over-limit charges and other miscellaneous fees. And most important of all, you don’t have to pay interest on the interest charges you owe!
