pay cash and be looked down upon?

I never heard of this either, but I can imagine why some people might think so. Although my mother, who pays mostly with cash, gets strange looks when she pays like $300 dollars of groceries with cash.

Personally, I have a college account which includes a free debit card and credit card, but I only use my credit card for emergencies and school-related stuff (since my mom pays for the credit card, while my debit is money I made from work).

I'll probably get a credit card when I get older, but I'll only use it for emergencies and/or things that I really need that I can't afford with my checking account (but honestly, I can't think of anything I absolutely need that's that pricey)

Jam it back in, in the dark.
