50. I've had debit cards stolen

Thu Nov 6, 2025, 12:25 PM

Nov 6

And it’s a real drag disputing the transactions and stressful while waiting for the bank to despot it the cash. It’s so much easier to dispute transactions with a credit card.

The last thing I’d want is my bank account exposed to others. The debit card does exactly that. I usually just keep it at home.
