The United States is becoming more and more a “cashless society”. People are making purchases by cheque, charge accounts or credit cards, rather than carrying large amounts of money in their pockets or purses.

Normally people pay by cheque at the end of each month at department stores and some food markets and drugstores. They also pay monthly by cheque for rent, telephone calls, electricity, milk, newspaper deliveries, and similar household expenses. Mary have charge cards to pay for petrol and service station expenses and credit cards for restaurant, hotel, and travel costs.

This is a matter of personal choice. But if you have charge accounts, be sure to pay promptly; the interest charged for late payments can be high.
