manshimajin Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Alternatively, go to the Bank once a month and write a cheque for the cash you need. Cronky, that also makes a lot of budgetary sense - its been shown over and over again that getting people to use cash instead of plastic teaches them to manage their finances better. That's why retailers and banks keep pushing cards onto people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 My Dad ran a small rural business in the UK up until the 1970's. Employees were paid in cash, grew there own vedgetables and 'debt' was a four letter word. Simple life it may be, compared to today, but it seems to me they lived well and without all the modern gripes. Later on, when I was in the military, I recall those who had problems with debt were paid in cash until they learned how to control their own money. We mostly use cash. It's just less hassle - and more private as no one keeps a record of where you go and what you spend. It also stops us overspending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grianane Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I use cash whenever I'm out in town, this is readily replenished from one of the various cash machines in Ramsey. My budgeting must be crap because I can never remember what I spent my money on the night before - although there must be a clue in the fact that it always gives me a headache.

Slim Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 The PIN number is on the magnetic strip on the back. It always was. No it isn't. Chip and Pin is a compromise though, the cryptography could have been much better, but the proposed system was dropped because of backwards compatability issues and costs.

slinkydevil Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 No and never had. All my cards have at least 2 yrs to run. So how do you think the email is fraudulent? A mistake perhaps, but it doesn't give you a link to follow, it doesn't ask for any passwords (warning you not to) and it specifically tells you to go to paypal and log in to your account, which you would do anyway to edit any information.
