We did something similar in that we have almost completely stopped using the debit card and instead use cash and checks. It's more real, more tangible when you actually hold greenbacks than a piece of plastic and even more cautionary when you take the time to write out a check. We had really run into problems in that we weren't keeping up with entering debit receipts in the checkbook and thereby thinking there was more money in the bank than there really was. Then one goof lead to an overdraft fee, which lead to another, which eventually lead to entire paychecks disappearing into the land of fees paid. Of course, the bank wasn't the least bit sympathetic and would not help out. Ended up costing us about $2,500 in "stupid tax".
