Going CASH from today

    I have now just finished my first month of cash and it has worked really really well.

    DD's come out of one account and they are then very easy to track and do not confuse the situation

    Cash is drawn weekly from another account according to what we have budgeted for, being weekly it is not a huge problem if you run out early - its only a few days to wait!

    This has enabled me to have my best month ever of paying off my debts, up by about 30%.

    Cheers all
    that's fantastic well done!!!!

    I might have to try this approach but I do so like earning cashback on my cc.
    What I have done before is to withdraw the money at the beginning of the month. I then use my card as usual and pay any cash back into the bank but I do miss out on the interest.
