Hispanics Love Money! They do, in fact the more money the better. Hispanics love money so much that they would rather carry it in their pocket then put it away in a bank. You would think that they would open up a checking/savings account so they can keep their money safe but safe to them is cashing their checks and putting the cash underneath their mattress. Why do they prefer cash? They prefer cash because they know how to use it. They did not grow up handling a plastic card to make purchases, they used cold hard cash or pesos. Not only that but the stores that some Hispanics go to only accept cash, like flea markets and stores related to the culture. The more our society pushes plastic the more likely it will be for Hispanic families to apply for a credit card. When this happend Hispanic families will spend more than they should. When people spend with plastic there is no emotional connection with the purchase. When people spend with cash it hard to let go of Benjamin Franklin. Hispanics rise because they use cash to make purchases, but the future looks brighter for plastic and it may lead to their fall. – Debt Free Hispanic
