1. Change with the changin' times.

When's the last time you bought a hotel property with pink cash?

3. The pink cash didn't phase them. They wanted to know why I was carrying a shoe. n/t

6. We have the new life game same thing

its actually true life. If you get kids you pay childcare, and you win by life points instead of who has the most money. So things like hiking a mountain gives you a bunch of points. Money helps but is not the goal. If you donate to a cause or do something really good you earn a ton of life points.

Everyone starts with a visa card and put it into the game piece that adds up all the points and deducts for daycare and interest.

I won on thanksgiving. I have figured out how to get life points.

7. ATM = Checking/Savings = Cash

Where's the credit card?

8. They look the same, they are used the same..

It lowers the threshold to use the credit card.

Think of the ATM card as the "gateway drug" to credit card use.

11. Baloney.

I can't imagine life without a debit card these days.

It is very convenient, and are almost universally used.

13. I buy almost everything over $10 (and everything period at big-box stores) on debit.

It's much easier to use than cash, it automatically balances, and it's always easy to find out exactly how much cash I have ready to use versus how much is in savings. Debit is great, and not a thing like credit.

9. Holy shit.

First they indoctrinate our children with artillery pieces, thimbles, and top hats.

And now this.

10. I played Electronic Talking Mall Madness when I was twelve.

That game has credit cards too!

Surely it's mommy and daddy's use of credit cards that is responsible for the indoctrination in most cases, not a game that kids don't even play anymore. How many kids even play board games nowadays anyway? And how many of them want to play Monopoly?

[Occam Bandage]

12. ATM/debit is cash. Just in a different form.

14. Close to true, but not true.

15. i was playing the game of "Life" in the early 80s, and that had credit cards...
