I know we’ve seen these cards everywhere, seems like everyone wants you to have theirs right? While these used to be geared to those who couldn’t or didn’t want to hold a checking or savings account for various, they are no longer. Even if you have banking and checking accounts, and perfect credit and bill paying history, prepaid debit can be a good resource for you. I say resource, because they can aid in your daily, weekly, and even monthly financial budgeting.
Even for someone like me, who is pretty financially savvy, I found that by using a prepaid debit card it helped me to allocate specific funds to my discretionary wants. Is so easy to get carried away with our normal debit and credit cards. For one, credit cards can subject you to high interest rates and no one wants to fall victim to those. Paying 20% extra for some thing is not the way to go or save money!

I used my awesome Atlanta skyline themed card at Wal-Mart just the other day, and it was easy as pie! I was able to get some baby laundry detergent, nursing pads, and a few other item. You have the option of using this card as either debit or credit, so if your concerned about entering your pin, the credit option is just as easy and fast. I actually used the credit option myself, and it went through just as fast as my regular bank debit card.
