I've recently started freelance writing for a MasterCard debit card called, Mango Money. At first I didn't really know how it would fit into my lifestyle. I have good credit, a checking account, and do pretty well budgeting. I decided to give it a try and quickly realized that by loading my monthly spending money on the card, I could budget that aspect of my money better. Unfortunately this month I didn't do so well. I have more month than money so I'll have to focus on doing a better job next month. Be careful though, not all prepaid debit cards are created equal. Choose a debit card that has the least amount of fees. If you educate yourself upfront on how the card usage fees work, you won't experience unexpected surprises later!
