I notice that few cashiers anywhere these days bother to count out the change they hand me.....

Trust NO ONE when it comes to money .

I too use the credit card often, it allows me to budget .

I've always wondered about that 'cash back' jazz, I don't understand it and so have never tried to use it .

Simple. Use particular credit cards, and you get a percentage back. I have 2% of all purchases credited to my account each month on one card. On another card, I get 1% credited when I charge, and the other 1% credited when I pay.

I try to charge a lot. Two percent cash back on $50,000 in spending is $1,000. I never carry a balance over. Do that, and you lose.
