These days, avoiding cards is like trying to avoid Wi-Fi. Credit cards and debit cards run the modern world, and we are drifting fast toward a fully cashless society. Even the penny has bowed out. The last one has already been minted. Paychecks have followed the same path. Most employers now rely on direct deposit. Paper checks, when they exist at all, are mailed. That means delays, lost mail, stolen checks, and replacement headaches. Worse, a stolen paycheck can open the door to identity theft, and that door is hard to close once it swings open. Now add another reality. Some people’s credit is so damaged that opening a traditional bank account is not even an option. No checking account. No debit card. No safety net. Then there’s the risk factor. If you are dealing with a debt collection agency or an unfamiliar website, handing over access to the same bank account where your paycheck lands is risky. Once money hits that account, it becomes visible, traceable, and potentially vulnerable. One mistake, one unauthorized pull, and rent money disappears before you can react. That’s where prepaid cards quietly shine. A prepaid card acts like a financial firewall. You control how much money sits on it. There is no overdraft risk. There is no direct pipeline to your primary bank account. When used strategically, it allows you to make payments, shop online, and receive funds without exposing your entire financial life. I personally prefer prepaid cards as a layer of protection. When dealing with collection agencies, I never give access to the account where my paycheck is deposited. That account is mission-critical. Bills, housing, food, stability. It stays off limits. Think of prepaid cards not as a downgrade, but as tactical positioning. They offer: - Protection from unauthorized withdrawals - Separation between income and obligations - Access to digital payments without full banking exposure - A practical option for those rebuilding credit or locked out of traditional banking

Due to scheduling conflicts, I'm moving our weekly meeting to Tuesdays at 6 PM Central. I have college assignments due that day, and I know many of you also have church or family commitments on Wednesdays. This new time should make it easier for more members to join consistently and stay engaged. Thanks for rolling with the change—your time and energy matter, and I want to make sure we're meeting when it works best for the group. If this new time works for you, drop a 👍 below! If not, let me know so we can explore alternatives. https://www.skool.com/live/XWtpwmfHM9R
