You don't carry a balance and pay interest on credit card purchases if you use cash; you are more restrained with your spending when you use cash because you have a finite amount of money instead of a variable amount afforded by a credit card; you make more thoughtful purchases and consider the true value of what you're buying--"impulse" purchases are much harder to succumb to if you just use cash. It's difficult to use cash--try it; it's supposedly a great method of achieving control of one's finances. Vendors pay a fee when buyers use a credit card.

A debit card takes money directly from your account. A credit card takes the money from the credit card company, and the credit card company will bill you in monthly installments until you pay them back (plus interest). A debit card is like paying in cash, without actually having the cash on you. A credit card is similar to taking a small loan.
A cash advance limit is the maximum amount of cash you can withdraw from your credit card, typically lower than the credit limit. The credit limit is the total amount you can spend on purchases using the card.
A cash back credit card is used as a normal credit card. The difference is that when one makes qualifying purchases, a certain percentage of the purchase is returned to the cardholder.
