I do use cash mainly for transactions of $50 or less as I don’t like to carry around a lot of loot (except when on vacation)! With the rash of data breaches at some of the major retailers in the past years, consumers are becoming more wary of flashing their debit and credit cards at brick and mortar stores when they could be using cash.

My degree is in mechanical engineering, but I’m just starting a transition to nursing – before I got pregnant with my son, I was working as a nursing assistant while my husband finished grad school, and planning to go on to nursing school.

My oldest son turned 7 a few weeks ago and we wanted to surprise him with a fun birthday – but I’m sure he had NO idea how much of a surprise we had for him. Thanks to Disney, not only were we able to give him a once in a lifetime experience, but we also had an incredible mini-vacation to Disneyland. All rights reserved.
