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.

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.

Is this a regional thing? I've always heard them used synonymously? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.
