I use travellers' checks and I would like to explain why I do. I have found that it is easier for me to stay on my budget when I do. If I leave the vacation money in my checking account and use my checkcard to pay for things, it is too easy for me to overspend. If I use travellers' checks and separate them into envelopes for different days/purposes, I have a quick visual confirmation that I am staying on my budget.
