Ok- i actually like the concept. It's real. I pay off my cards but I DO use them...hey! I get free amazon books by using a credit card LOL!!!! I have a couple of 'money' books lying around (elementary-middle school level) and my DS (7 yo) asked me what the difference between a debit and a credit card is! I actually thought that was pretty cool.... i'm sure ya'll think I'm a koo koo now! (ps: we still do mostly paper money and coins for our every day practice.... )

Too bad they don't show anyone typing in a password, or having to produce identification, or signing a receipt (or even GETTING a receipt!), before they can complete the transaction!


BTW, my local McDonalds requires identificaiton if you are using a $50 or $100 bill! In God We Trust. All others, let's see your driver's license!
