Ka-ching! Primerica Recommends Paying in Cash to Save More Money

One of the biggest problems that Primerica’s clients face is credit card debt. The convenience of having a credit card is one of the main reasons why people have them in the first place, but seeing your total credit card bill by the end of each month is not as convenient as having them anymore. If your credit card debt is building every month and you can only pay the minimum amount due while you still keep on spending, you might want to toss away that card and stick to good old-fashioned cash.

From PRIMERICA

Paying in cash helps you save more money and makes you less dependent on your credit card. Primerica strongly recommends people to pay in cash because those who develop the habit of using cash instead of credit cards are more likely to spend less. Credit card users buy more things, pay a higher price for them and sometimes are not entirely aware of how much they’ve spent compared to those who use cash. Using credit cards, more often than not, results to impulse buying, which is a terrible financial habit. Those who pay in cash learn how to save up for the things they need to buy and not just charge everything on the card.

From PRIMERICA

The bottom line: cash is king. Using cash lets you live within your means, and lets you budget and plan your future purchases. Based on studies, those who budget and plan are almost 40% wealthier than those who don’t.*
