Back to Cash - I Just Cut Up My Debit Card

Dear future, you suck and I want simplicity back. After years of being frustrated by my banks ever increasing fees, overdraft charges, customer service and cost for ATM withdrawls, I am going back to cash.

Yep, I am the idiot that paid $40 for a cup of java.
