Overcharges?
by Thoul » Fri Jan 4, '08, 7:53 am
Recently, I read a statistic that claimed people who use credit or debit cards pay 15% more on average than those who pay with cash. Do you think this is accurate for your personal experience? I can't really say for myself, as I've never used plastic.

Based on my personal experience, no, but I can see the potential for why that would be the case. If you use a debit card and overcharge your bank account, you get hit with overcharge fees. On credit cards, if you don't pay your bill, you start having to pay for what you bought plus interest on the money borrowed, and that can add really quick.
I use cash as much as I possibly can.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if there are overcharges. Credit cards are wicked. 
Cash is much better, less hassle, and cheaper too in the long run.

Never payed much attention to how people do it until just recently my aunt was going through her wallet and said she had no 20's left. lol
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.
People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....
