Christian Slater cuts up his credit cards!

Christian Slater is ditching the plastic.

The actor says he’s cutting up his credit cards in order to be more diligent about his money and he’s urging others to do the same.

“I’m starting to pay cash a lot now,” says Christian. “With credit cards, you lose track of how much you’re spending. If you use your credit card, you just kind of aimlessly give the person a piece of plastic and you don’t know really what you spend. So I’m starting to carry cash although maybe I shouldn’t even say that. I’m going to get mugged!”

Slater recently revealed he “reached out” to Lindsay Lohan to help her deal with her rehabilitation.

Former drug addict Christian admits he has tried to help the 24-year-old star who finished her fifth rehab stay in early January by sending her an email because he understands how difficult it is to deal with dependency issues.

“Addiction is not pretty and you don’t fully understand it unless you’re dealing with it head-on,” he said.

“That’s why when I see other kids struggling, I will sometimes reach out to them a call or an email.”
