Please use cash.<\/p>\n
When you do, you take money out of the coffers of the banks and simultaneously strengthen the REAL economy.<\/p>\n
I urge all my clients to pay me with check, money order, cash or direct transfer (more on this later). When you pay Blue Table Painting $100 with Paypal or Credit card I have to pay $3.25 to the banks. That comes straight out of our family’s budget. Wouldn’t you much rather see me and my workers get that money?<\/p>\n
Don’t get me wrong! I’m glad to process by Paypal and Credit Card. There is something to be said for the convenience. Above all, I want the client to be accomodated!<\/span><\/p>\n When sent in a hard envelope with Delivery Confirmation it’s reliable. I’ve never once, not even once in six years, had a check go missing in the mail. The bank on the other hand has found ten ways to get their hands on the loot. Banks make your money NOT safe.<\/p>\n My concern here is not just money (ie that I make less if the Banks get their mitts on the money) but that I don’t want to see my fellowman further indebted (bank profits create more debt ultimately).<\/p>\n
