Where does the Cash go?

‘Idál (Justice), 4 Kamál (Perfection), 167 BE – Wednesday, August 4, 2010 about 8:03 AM Pacific Time

I am not writing about all the money I have spent, just the cash. I uses debits cards for most purchases so I know where that money goes, but the cash gives me problems. All most every month I come up short because I do not remember where the cash went.

The problem is not just a few cents in hard money, rather I have problems keeping track of soft money. This morning I did my books and found that I was $6.00 short. I do not know where that cash went, all I know is that it was not in my purse. Now, $6:00 is not a huge amount of cash, but it is enough to get a pound of coffee, a couple of gallons of gas, or six loaves of bread, which means $6.00 has an effect on my budget.

I may start using the debit cards for all my purchases, I realize that some business charge a small fee. If the fee is less then $1.00 I do not mind and if it is more, then the establishment does not want or need my business. If I continue coming up short on the cash this month, I will begin using debit cards or online transactions for everything next month.
