Knowing how many people here use their golf cart as primary transportation, I don't see the threat to the household economy in having to spend 60 cents more for a tank of cart gas by using a credit card. What can a person buy with 60 cents besides a postage stamp?
Just a few quotes I have heard:
"A penny saved is not enough"
"A penny saved is a penny earned"
"Count your pennies...the dollars will take care of themselves!"
It is not what you can buy with 60 cents, it is the principle that 60 cents is in "your" pocket and not in the gas station cash register drawer.
