You split last month’s grocery run into four payments through a buy now pay later app. Your credit score never moved. That is not a glitch. It is the buy now pay later credit report gap, and it affects most borrowers in 2026. Most BNPL lenders still do not send payment data to the three major credit bureaus. That means a real slice of your debt stays invisible to anyone checking your credit, including you. […]

I’ve been on a CASH ONLY basis since I took the Dave Ramsey course this past spring. It just made sense to me in a way few things have. And I dove right in. Current Circumstances Now just a reminder of or introduction to my current life for those that haven’t been here that long. I live with my dad. I moved in here about a year and a half ago to help take care of my mom (and dad). My mom passed away in June of this year. My dad lets me stay here for free and pays for all the groceries. I do not pay any rent or utilities. In exchange, I do all the cooking and general care of the home. I’m also now taking over bill paying for him with financial oversight by my siblings. It’s not a job I asked for or wanted, but it makes the most sense since I am here. My dad has pointed out several times that since I moved in, he is spending less on food. And he’s definitely eating more variety and more healthy. (He is also a diabetic so our diets are structured identically in that sense.) So it’s actually been saving him money to have me around. He can’t cook. And has no desire to learn. All that to say, my monthly bills are very low. My car is paid for. A single student loan is my only outstanding debt. And while I still pay my cell phone, internet, and support my dogs, most of the income I bring is goes to savings these days. Thank god! Taking a class at my church is really the only time I leave my house every week. I have a dinner with a group of women every other week, but other than that, I am perfectly content to be home. How Cash has Helped Last spring, I took the Financial Peace class. And while I’ve know about the Baby Steps forever. I had never heard him speak. It made so much sense to me. Here are my top three take aways since going cash only: Carrying cash is not something I do. I’ve never been one to carry cash. And that hasn’t changed. Makes it really hard to buy anything when you literally have no way. I know this is extreme, but it’s what I do. And we all know I need the discipline. (I do use my debit card for gas at the pump, but 1) it’s in my budget and 2) since I rarely go anywhere on a regular basis, I don’t have to get gas often.) Preparation is key. Food has always been a weakness. The convenience of restaurants, drive thrus, just made my money disappear. That was especially true when all 5 of my kids were home. So when I know I’m going to be away from home. I pack food. And it’s really helped getting to cook and keep groceries I enjoy. And being

Tackle debt now – don’t ignore it Today (6 October 2026) Citizens Advice (CA) revealed that people seeking debt help in England and Wales owe more than £10,000 on average. CA said that more than 48,000 people a month are seeking help, a 37% increase compared with 2022.
