There are numerous reasons why paying cash is so appealing to many people.

  1. You own what you just bought because you used your own money to pay for it, not someone else’s.
  2. You got to pay a better price because you don’t have to pay interest.
  3. You won’t add to your pile of debt. (Even someone who is careful with credit cards can end up in an unfortunate debt predicament if life throws them a curve ball.)​

There are more, but I’ll leave it at that. (You can check out cash vs. credit in our article here)

So making the switch. Is it possible? Don’t know where to begin?

Related: In this article we discussed “money buckets” and the freeing power they possess.

It’s not hard to set up, here’s how.
