I seriously dislike carrying large amounts of cash around if I am traveling. In between dragging around luggage, paying for things on the way, and all the other million things to do while traveling it’s just too easy to lose it. And how bad would it stink to lose your money while on vacation?

At the beginning of the summer I went to Ohio to visit my boyfriend. Instead of bringing a bunch of cash I bought a Prepaid Debit card. It was easy to use and accepted anywhere. They’re also really helpful for people who don’t have bank accounts or credit cards. There are things that can only be bought with a card. Like a nice Hotel room, some things online. Alcohol on an airplane can’t be bought without a card either. It’s always good to have one. I got mine from NetSpend.
