Debit vs Credit

2006 was the fist year that saw debit card purchases topped the 1 trillion dollar mark. But when you head to the store, which kind of plastic is best...debit or credit? According to money reporter Stacy Johnson, it's a question of interest.

Notice how he is eager to point out the downfalls of the debit card vs. the credit card, but can only point out benefits for the credit card.

IMO, there are good things and bad things about both depending on how one uses them. I do agree with one thing he said; cash is almost always guaranteed to be the best.

interesting. however, as i've been through identity theft, i no longer write checks. i pay debit, cash, or money order. look at your bank (i bank w/ a CU). money orders at your financial institution are often free
