Wallets

[ISUFan22]

This should be a more manly convo that talking about sheets.

For years I felt I needed to have a big wallet. Leather with so many spots to put stuff into. Filling it with nonsense most of the time. I tried the money clip thing for a while too.

Recently made a change to a Bellroy wallet - got the Note Sleeve. I travel a ton and just don't need a bulky wallet to sit on. And when I want to take it out, wanted something smaller I could put in my front pocket.

By far my favorite wallet ever. Wondered what others are transitioning to with a bit less emphasis on a full wallet due to various technology options.

In my wallet:

Drivers License
2 Credit Cards
1 Debit Card
Insurance Card
Thin United Airlines club passes
Cash (don't carry much cash)

You got me curious as to what all is in my wallet other than cash.

Credit card #1
Credit card #2
Student ID card
Apartment access card
Debit card
Health insurance card
AAA card
Driver's license

It's pretty sleek as-is but I wonder how my 8 cards compares to other people on here.

I had to look to even see what my wallet was, apparently it's Fossil brand, pretty sure I got it as a gift like 10 years ago or more. It'll be my wallet until it not longer wallets, for now it's still walleting fine.

I got a "slim" wallet a few years back because I was tired of having a Constanza wallet. In it I keep my driver's license, a debit card, a credit card, and some cash. It's perfect.

That's almost exactly me. I really need to upgrade though. At 31, I'm going to have to accept I'm an adult now and shouldn't have a tri-fold wallet anymore.

Tri-folds aren't adult wallets? Im in trouble then.

Tri-folds aren't adult wallets?

No. Not since like, 1989. And I say this having a tri-fold wallet.

Wait, what's wrong with a trifold wallet? Are people laughing at me in secret everytime I take out my wallet?

 

[roundball]

Tri-folds aren't adult wallets?

I had a trifold wallet once that was made of nylon and had a velcro closure, but yeah...I don't think there's anything inherently "un-adult" about the trifold itself.

This is almost exactly what I have except I also have a dental card and a Sam's Club card but no apartment access card or student ID. Oh, I almost forgot my health club membership card.

Also, when I gave up my monster wallet about ten years ago I also started carrying a moneyclip instead of putting cash in the wallet. Unfortunately it is often nearly empty. :cry:

I have something like this. A fraction of the weight and thickness of my old wallet and holds nearly as much crap. And it looks cool. Because that's important to my shallow self.

[Farnsworth]

I have a full wallet that has all the crap in it, but a 2nd one for day to day stuff. I also don't like sitting on the big wallet all the time. Get's annoying though when I don't have something I need (like Sam's card).

Credit Card, Corporate Card, ID.

Just opened my wallet and found this square packet thing that's been in there since freshman year of high school. Not sure what it is. I opened the packet and there was this slimy balloon looking thing in there. Can anyone explain?

follow up question: what pocket do you carry your wallet in?

I have a magnetic money clip/card holder type thingy. Just a few cards and don't carry much cash so works for me. I carry in my front, right pocket.

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

I have a lot of stuff in my wallet but rarely have it in my back pocket. Usually it's in my coat or center console of my car. I never sit on my wallet, preferring to put it in a drawer at work.

I've settled on a brown ISU logo wallet now but will put essentials into a black leather wallet for important dinners or whatnot.
