(Gas is always covered in a separate quarter, so if you're willing to adjust spending habits every 3 months, this is a good option.)
So in one quarter, you can eat, but you can't buy any gas, and the next quarter, you can buy gas, but you can't eat?

Or do you advocate hoarding? Which quarter gives the rebates for gasoline safe 55 gallon drums?



I still think we need an app that will tell us which credit card to use at which merchant. I can't keep track of all that stuff, especially when it changes quarter to quarter.
