Too many risks. However, back in the day, when I couldn't control my spending, my debit card would have been perfect. You really do have to be careful, though. Also, be sure to shield the pinpad quite well when inputting your pin-code. It astounds me when I see how easily I can just peek over some peoples' shoulders and get their code if I wanted to (which of course I don't).

You don't want to be in a situation where you have to pay high interest on money you thought was in your account but isn't.
