I know it’s hard to make systemic predictions and observations based on such a small sampling of information, but of the five hours I spent ringing people up at the dog food store yesterday, it seemed like 80 or 90% of people paid with credit cards instead of cash. Saturdays tend to fluctuate like that. A few weeks ago, we had a great deal more cash transactions than we had yesterday. Even if I can’t use that information as predictive, I wonder how far across the board such behavior stretches. And I wonder how it breaks down along class stratification lines. Myself, I’m pushing to completely pay off my credit cards (again) within six months. As of two weeks from now, I’ll have the cheapest one paid off, canceled and cut to shreds. Would have been this week if it weren’t for taxes.
