Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

Although I carry a wallet, I NEVER keep money in it. I can't believe so many people do. I want my money right in my front pocket where I can keep an eye on it. I've lost wallets before, but I never lost a front pocket.

What's even more amazing are people who keep their poker money in their wallet (hundred dollar bills, etc.). I think that's just plain stupid!

Am I the only one who never keeps cash in their wallet?

Btw- I do use a money clip for my non-bankroll spending cash.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

I simply refuse to carry cash.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

Huh? I keep money is my wallet. That's kind of what it's for. Losing the money in my wallet is nothing compared to the pain of losing credit cards/license/etc. I dont keep poker money in my wallet but that's mainly because it doesnt fit.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

Holding money is what a wallet is for. If you've got so much crap to carry around that you need a wallet and a money clip, maybe you should just carry a purse.

I keep money in my wallet. I've never lost my wallet sober.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

I want my money right in my front pocket where I can keep an eye on it.

Me too, that's why I keep my wallet in there.

The world is not ready for this kind of innovation.

i carry small bills in my wallet. i often have a large amount of cash on me since i play live a lot, but thats all in 20s and up and i dont like breaking out 1500$ to buy cheerios.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

I have a money clip/wallet. Does that count.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

I don't put money in my wallet. But I don't use a pansy money clip, either.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

I have about 680 bucks in my wallet right now, and a few singles in my pocket. I'd lose my [censored] all the time, grabbing for keys/change/cell phone etc.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

I carry money in my wallet, bankroll in my front pocket.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

My wallet doesn't even have a place to put money!

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

Hey don't knock em until you've tried them. I never used to use a money clip either until a couple years ago. I'm not talking about the fancy gold razzle dazzle ones. Just a plain magnetic leather one. Keeps your cash all together so you don't have to spill out your change, keys, or that little bag of hooch someone gave you, every time you go to pay for something.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

My credit cards are far more valuable to a pickpocket than any amount of cash I've every carried.

The first day I was in Seattle as a freshman there was a guy from Chicago and a guy from New York, they both explain that "in the big city" you keep your wallet in the front pocket.

I was like "whoa, this makes sense" and moved it, it hasn't moved back since.

Although with debit cards, I have gone like two months at a time without ever having cash.

I've never worried about this. Back pocket all the time. I ride the NYC subway 6 days a week.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

I haven't had a wallet in 15 years. Wallets are for girls who have bags to put them in.

Men doesn't have wallets

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

When you say front pocket, do you mean front pants pocket or shirt pocket? Because a lot of chairs in cars and at movie theatres and stuff push my knees up so high that stuff often falls out of my pants pocket and that's why I've been afraid to put my wallet there.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

Really? I've never worried too much about this. Maybe that's because it's never happened to me yet. I would think you could just call the credit card companies and explain that your wallet's been stolen? They can't hold you liable for 30k charges in one day, can they?

I don't know, but that potential downside, or some fractional component of it (as well as having to deal with DMV an extra time), is worth a lot more to me than the $500 max I usually have on me.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

You're not the only one -- I never keep cash in my wallet, either. Partly because of the risk of theft, but partly because it's a hassle to have to take the wallet out every time I need to pay for something.

Yes. Taking a wallet out is very difficult. Don't you have to take the money out? Is it taped to the outside somehow?

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

I tossed the whole wallet thing years ago. My cash is in a clip in my left front pocket and my credit cards and id are rubber banded in my right front pocket. I like to travel light.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

dont use a wallet

i have one at home with various cards in it - breast inspector...etc


i dont really care for them, i should my id looks like dynamite has been strapped to it and set off


cheers

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

It would be neat if someone would combine the money clip and the rubber band so that you could keep your cards and money together and organized. Maybe we could call it...a wallet.

Too bulky for me glenn. I went from a wallet to a billfold and finally I just ditched it completely.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

I've never gotten my wallet stolen in my entire life and I've never even worried about it.

I'm confused by the parnoia in this thread.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

I have a habit of always checking to make sure my wallet is still in my pocket.

I keep my keys in my front left pocket, my cell phone in my front right, my wallet in my back right, and sometimes my checkbook (I'm old school) in my back left. Everytime I stand up, sit down, leave somewhere, arrive somewhere, and at many other times I'll pat down each pocket real quick to make sure everything is there. If something was lost it wouldn't be longer than 2 minutes until I knew about it.

It might just be a me thing. To me anyway a billfold is a skinny version of a wallet.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

To each his own. Someone has to defend the wallets though, as they cant speak for themselves.

The footnote here is that it turns out that A- they were suburbanites B- the area of Seattle that they were shook about is actually very tame (The Ave). Mostly for me it's that I'm more comfortable with my wallet in my front pants pocket and I feel like I know where it is and it's never going to fall out without me noticing.

Re: Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet?
 

its actually alot better for your back too. Having a wallet in your back pocket isnt good for you, as when you sit down, your sit bones arent level, because there is a wallet wedged under one side.
