It's ironic as most debit card users are actually those with more money. It's good to know though that one can get around this by offering cash as deposit.

We have never been unable to do anything due to not having a card, nor have we had any security issues. We do plan on getting one in the future as we look towards buying a home, but right now as a full time students its not a feasible option.

I understand the aversion to using them for things you can't afford (things you can't pay off at the end of the month), but I don't see the difference between a credit card you pay off at the end of the month and a debit card (excpet that the credit card is safer to use/have). It is a convenient way to pay, nothing more, nothing less.
