DailyDish - Pay Cash or Don't Buy It
Filed under: Work Life, Holidays
This holiday season, set a budget and stick to it by paying cash instead of racking up debt using credit.

Getting the bill in the following months isn't, not to mention that if it's not paid in full the interest on the card is generally more than the savings from the sale. Paying in cash forces you to use only what you have, but it'll save you heartache in the long run.
