What kind of wallet do you use?

Humboldt · Post by **Humboldt** » Sun May 15, 2016 6:37 pm

Just curious.
My black Eagle Creek hemp wallet is 20+ years old and looks it.
Like to replace it with a nice leather or eel skin one.
Always carried a trifold. Bulkier but more room.

Anyone here used both but prefer bifolds?
(Yes Ken, I know you you're a bi kind of guy)

I carry a small leather card holder,I carry my DL ,my health ins card,and a credit card that I use for everyday purchases and really everything in my life,I pay it off in full every month and I never carry cash.

Jesus dude

I have a Castanza wallet (ancient Seinfeld)

I like using cash. Either there or it's not, but you're not paying interest at least.
Only carry 2 credit cards but have my ATM cards and a few other things...too much.
Have a habit of always asking for a cc receipt so I can double check the charges or use them for a return, but they add up.

Use credit 90% of the time regardless.
Loving the Rakuten one I got. Better rate than my *sh*tty* BOA one and I get money back in points that add up a lot more quickly.
Just ordered a new wallet and watch, didn't pay (them) at all

Anyway, I try to go through my wallet every week or so and take out receipts and notes from work. Just always had a trifold and am thinking of going with a bifold. Will know in a week or so.

Real life scenario...at least in Humboldt...Stop by the drinking hole after work for drinks with my girlfriend. Sign on the door. Cash only, happens a few times per year.
ATT won't buy space on a redundant line up here, so when the line goes down we're all f*cked.
Including me and my woman if I didn't have cash.

I get by just fine with carrying no cash,haven't carried cash in many years,

a CC is safer than a debit/atm card also.

I use a alaska air miles card and it really works.that's how I fly to the islands free every other trip.

I have had the card 5 years now and have never paid a penny in interest,as I said ,I pay the full balance every statement,I also have an insane good fico scores as well.due in part to that CC.

I use Quicken and online banking to track my finances daily.all my bills are auto pay on my cc and are all paperless as well,I pay one bill pay a month manually and that's to the cc.and many of the stores I shop at send me an email receipt with no paper trail.I am a n a l about my ID theft protection and my credit reports and fico scores.

and that seinfeld wallet episode is one of my favorites.

I carry black leather wallet, CK currently that I picked up at TJ-Maxx/Marshalls for $10-15. I replace it every 3-4 years I suppose. I prefer the bifold type, as it sits flatter in my pocket, even though I fill it up with too much junk/cards that I don't use regularly.

Old black bi-fold wallet.
Holds cards and crap I stuff in it periodically.
Clean it out every 5 xmas or so when gifted a new one.
NEVER have cash in wallet, cash always in front pocket.

I got this bi fold ancient Timberland black leather wallet. Swear it's well over 20 years old.

I gotta flush it out around once every two months or so...gets too fat...receipts 'n stuff.
lotsa cards, always some cash. I'm still old school..gotta have cash.

I actually spend less NOT carrying cash.not that places I go to don't take my CC,but cash seems to be easier to spend,it seems to find ways out of my pocket when I have it.

Fixed!

We appreciate your honesty, Humby, however that's TMI...

Definitely not bi here, I have used a trifold for ~40 years, currently using a Fossil.

I'm too tight...I can go months without slipping a bill out of my wallet.

I would just have to copy and paste everything Dan is saying. I do carry a little cash for tips. In restaurants I prefer to leave cash than put it on the credit card receipt. I also carry virtually nothing in my wallet, credit card, ATM card, D/L and medical id.

I should've been more specific in my questions.

Bifold or trifold?

What is it a fossil of? Hoping it's smooth.
And no pics of girlfriend, too pretty to be soiled here.
Sorry.

Hey Humboldt

I just bought this one about a month ago.
Love it.

Needed to replace the garbage I bought at Wally world a year ago that completely fell apart.

It was a gift from one of my girlfriends. I can provide pics of said lady, however this is a PG-13 forum...

But, it's OK Humby, we don't need pics of your blow up girlfriend. Just be careful so that you don't puncture her!

I had to look to see what I have. I have a Timberland bi-fold that I got as a gift either BD or Xmas. Maybe 5 years old tops. In actuality it is pretty rugged, since it still looks like its in really good shape after 5 years.

Russell · Post by **Russell** » Tue Jul 12, 2016 10:49 pm

I actually haven't carried a wallet for years. Drives my wife crazy. I tend to only carry my license and Visa check card in my front pants pocket. If I'm at work it they go in the zippered pocket of my bike shirt. It's worked for me so far, lol.

jeremyboycool · Post by **jeremyboycool** » Wed Sep 14, 2016 9:54 am

I stopped carrying my wallet with me. I was thinking, all it is does now is hold my growing collection of cards, all of which I need to keep, but I only really need two for day to day use. So now I just carry a credit card, and my picture ID. I suppose I should find a small sleeve (so the cards last longer) for just two cards, but nothing as bulky as a full size wallet.

Yeah, exactly why I'm digging the bi-fold

People always looked at the tri-fold, and I'd say, "Yeah, it's a Castanza wallet."

Most got it.

This new one I have room for money and maybe a receipt or 2, license and a couple credit cards, medical and auto. That's it.

Loving it. Leave it in my pocket when driving occasionally (on short trips), that's how big a difference it is.

I carry a Croft & BarrowÂ® RFID-Blocking Extra-Capacity Hipster Wallet, it has a nice capacity for cards, cash and not too bulky! The real question is where do you carry your wallet, back or front pocket? If you have chronic lower back pain and carry your wallet in your back pocket then moving it to the front will most likely resolve the issue. It may take a little getting use to but worth the effort!

Post by **Philip** » Fri Jun 14, 2019 4:36 am

I moved to a RFID-blocking wallet too, seems to be the new trend. Front pocket most of the time.
