I use debit card for everything, I have one for groceryshopping on a joint account with my partner, and one for my private needs and shopping. Bills are paid via banktransfers. A lot of places don't take cash anymore (not even banks) and I rarely wear my wallet so cash is kind of my new savingsstrategy. I always get surprised when I look in my wallet and realise I have money there.

If I had one million dollar my future would be saved, haha. I don't think I would change too much. Buy a home instead of renting and get a car. Maybe travel a bit and donate some to charity but for the rest I would probably let be. I should feel a lot more safe tho, with that financial stability.

I shop online a lot, so it's often online transfers for me. I like the fraud protection.

I might use cash to "buy me some art (like a Picasso or a Garfunkel)" though. ;)

I like using cash wherever possible because it's easier for me to keep track of. The online feature for my bank is slow as heck to update and even when I have a decent amount in there, I'm always wary of buying things online and losing track of how much money I have. :P My debit card only ever gets used if I forget to go to the cash machine or I have no choice but to buy something online. As for credit cards, I'm just not a fan of them.
And if I had $1,000,000, I'd disappear to a quiet Hebridean island and spend my days whale-watching! :D

I use my debit card about 90% of the time and PayPal about 10% of the time. I use to mostly use cash, but most of my stuff is done from home and I finally got my own bank account a couple years ago so I've come to like debit a lot better.

I use cash for small purchases, but mostly, I pay by debit card. Some of my colleagues pay everything by card and never have any cash on them, which I find rather interesting. I think sometimes it might just be an excuse not to contribute when an envelope for someone's birthday goes round. :P

I pay with my Debitcard. I only use cash for small purchases under 3 USD, for fleamarkets or when I go to Denmark (to avoid extra charges.)

I Always use Paypal or as a second choice my Debit card when I pay on internet.

If I had a million dollar I would definitely buy a House at the Countryside with a big garden and travel to the US. I hope to do it anyway but offcourse it would be much easier.  :)

We decided to stop using checks after someone tried to steal our account number from a business that we wrote a check to. They made their own set of checks and put us in debt with the bank. We had to call the police and was a big mess. We cannot ever write checks at certain stores again because of this identity theft. So the way I see it the only way to go is debit card.

I keep cash for gas and garage sales.
I use my credit card for shopping.  I don't use it to buy anything that I can't pay off that night.  The only reason I switched to a credit card over a debit card was for the extra cash back (free money).

Phone. While in China. Back home in Germany, unfortunately cash again. Less convenient.

I put absolutely everything I can on my credit card.  This is because my bank has cool reward points for dollars spent.  So long as I pay the total off every month then it is money for nothing and I cash-out a couple of times a year with some really useful gift vouchers for shops I frequent often :)

I prefer using my Debit Card the most. However, right now the majority of the money on there is from my student loans, so I don't use it much from aside from paying bills.

If it's IRL then it's usually cash, otherwise it's credit card (get rewards and pay it off right away) or debit card. If it's online it's usually Paypal  :awake:

I used to use my debit card for everything, but found out a credit card is much safer.  If some steals your debit card number and uses it, that comes directly out of your banking account.  It can take a awhile to recover that money.  With the credit card, it's not your money.  Plus with my credit card, I also get points.  I always pay it off at the end of each period.
