Who the $#%& keeps money in their wallet? - Page 3

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?

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

Although I carry a wallet, I NEVER keep money in it.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

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.

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?

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.
