I am a wife and mom of 3. The budget nerd of the house. Trying to plan for living life to the fullest.
I began cash stuffing after I realized my debit card had been compromised! I had several charges on my account ranging from restaurants, convenient stores, and even airfare to Asia. My bank took care of the charges immediately after being notified but it got me thinking......This account was connected to my entire life. My mortgage, retirements, taxable portfolios...It was a frightening wake up call for me. The possibility of losing everything is always there especially with a debit card.
I use cash from my envelopes for most purchases unless it is too inconvenient. In those cases I use a specific credit card and pay the balance off weekly!
Stay Tuned! ~ M
