what's the coolest way to store your money and membership cards, i gotta know. my wallet is 13 years old and falling apart in a tragically uncool fashion. what are the kids using today, 3 fold? billfold? man purse?

I have the same one, but in black. Had it for about ten or eleven years. Girlfriend loving hates it. I dont think it will make it another year.

I carry my stuff around in a plastic bag from walmart. It doubles as a weapon if you pull it over someones face. I attach it via carabiner to my tactical 511 belt and 511 cargo pants.

Def a huge part of my daily carry kit.

I ordered a new wallet yesterday. It is teal colored and has cute flower print on it, but I didn't look at the shipping dates and it says I won't get it until mid February, what the gently caress

I hear the kids just use their phone for everything. Sure it costs more and is completely, laughable, insecure, but it's so cool to swipe your phone at Starbucks for a Caramel Macchiato.

I just watched a teenager do this on line in front of me. I had no idea we had arrived at that technology. I paid with a debit card like the 29 year old pleb that I am.

its 2016 and we have to carry around leather wallets full of paper currency instead of having everything stored in the electronic device every person is carrying around anyway

My grandmother sent me a check book 2 years ago for my birthday, god loving knows why, but I use that as my wallet. It has plenty of card slots, can carry my cash and a few ticket stub keepsakes and is in a cool native american style. I consistently get compliments on it, and that's good enough for me.

It's a more tangible asset. You're less likely to overspend if you're carrying/paying with cash. The actual paper bills make you question everything. At least that's how it is for me.

I'm the opposite. Cash in pocket is treated like an asset already expended.

I use a slim card carrier and a separate money clip. This is by far the best method.

Wallets are cool and I pay for pretty much everything that isn't a reoccuring payment or gas in cash. Local businesses will like you a lot, waiters/waitresses will appreciate the cash tips, and on the rare occasion you end up at a cash only place you don't have to go awkwardly hit an atm.

Also just leaving cash on the table for your meal+tip is stylish and so much faster than paying with a card.

i dont know i think living in a country where every employee gets a living wage and contactless payments are ubiquitous is more stylish still

kinda blows my mind how americans are cool with being waited on by what are essentially street hobos or buskers begging for change, its gross

Exactly right! If I was going to rob a guy, I'd rob him with a gun or knife, not a big phone.

Wallets suck because they always end up full of poo poo. Get a money clip. Do NOT get a magnetic one as it will gently caress up any magnetic cards you have. Instead get this thing. It is cheap and good.

I'm always thrown off when I watch shows from the 90s and earlier when someone is asked to pay over $50 for something and the payer just pulls out their wallet and pays with cash with zero hesitation

I know exactly zero people who carry more than $20 regularly who aren't drug dealers

I always have at least 60 bux in my wallet. Mind you, it's Canadian, so that's like 11 USD
