YEAH RIGHT! My husband and I started doing this a month ago! Doesn’t if feel amazing? I was reflecting today on our “cash diet” (as you so aptly put it), and I have decided that I cannot remember a time where I have been able to save, give, and provide more than I have been in the last four weeks. It is quite astonishing to see just how much of what we are given is recklessly spent when we use our little plastic magic wands instead of cold hard cash. I like little green stacks of paper much more now. And cappuccinos taste much better when I have anticipated them for days. This is how I remember that I’m getting out of debt on my cash diet. http://elissasjoy.tumblr.com/post/867127255/the-modern-day-string-around-the-finger-technique

Hubby G and I do the same sort of thing, but on a monthly basis instead of a weekly basis- at the beginning of each month we withdraw cash from the bank for our “allowance” and when it’s gone, it’s gone! It definitely helps us to keep perspective!

Mmh… sounds like something I might have to try. I’ve been relying way too much on my ATM card lately (although I like the fact that you can “budget” online when using your card).
