minus-square@Usernameblankfacelink12•edit-27 months agoI’ve seen an apparently relatable video about spending cash on something, therefore your bank account doesn’t change so it feels free. It seems that looking at your bank account balance often and valuing that number has a similar effect to carrying most of your paycheck in cash. Credit cards are still the enemy because they delay the change in your bank account so that things feel like they cost less.
