Where Do You Carry Your Wallet?

[+ Avalon]

I think most men carry their wallet in the back pocket. I got into the habit of putting mine in the front right one. Less chance of it falling out or a pick pocket taking it,

[Mr.E]

Back in the day when I used to wear at tie at work, I found that putting my wallet in my back pocket would cause unnecessary wear in my slacks so I switched to putting it in the front. If I put it in the back now, it feels really uncomfortable when I sit, like I have a deck of cards under my right cheek. It’s always in the front now.

People still carry wallets?

People might not carry cash anymore but where do you carry your ID, driver's license and debit and credit cards?

Cards are in the smartphone (apple pay and such) for most people....you don't need the actual cards anymore, really, since you can just tap your phone to the cc reader. ID is rarely needed and can slip in the phone case easily enough. Actual cash is becoming antiquated, it seems, but there's always a money clip (I gave one as a gift last year, actually), if you need one.

I keep a little cash $20 - 30.00 folded in my pocket and I have a very thin wallet for ID and cards.

I'm a dinosaur I don't have a smartphone.

You also don't leave your apartment. Where you carry your wallet is kind of academic since you're not really at risk for pickpocketing, etc.,

I have a stack of cards in my wallet: Medicare Insurance Costco etc. My wallet lives in my left front pocket. My debit card and gym card are in my iPhone case which lives in my right front pocket. I haven’t carried cash in 3 years. The only time that became problematic was when I dropped into a church service at Christmas and had nothing to put in the plate. They got a check when I got home.

But that's only been since last April. I now keep my wallet and car keys in a kitchen drawer.

 

I have less than $10 in my wallet. I can't remember how I got it since I've not used cash to pay anything long before I became housebound.

 

On the news they've been talking about the new phones. $1000!!! Too dear for me!

 

I have a landline phone and pay less than $5 per month.

Landline? Is that like snail mail?

[+ WilliamM]

I always carry a wallet when in Europe and Eastern Europe, especially Russia, and keep it in my left front Pants pocket. Also Japan and Australia/New Zealand.

Yes!

 

I have a rent box and still get some things like meds and Amazon delivered there. I do not want them left on my door step. I still subscribe to the TV GUIDE. I have since I was a teenager. My present subscription expires May 2010. I probably won't resubscribe. Since I'm dependent on my landlord to bring me my mail I often don't get it timely.

Landline? Snail mail? TV Guide? @Avalon you’re in the forefront of the 1950’s.

Wallet in front right pocket. Often, when I don't need all the cards and such, a money clip instead, or a simple thin card wallet.

Ditto

[Guest europeanman]

I carry only one cash/debit card in my trousers front pocket. No cash needed.

My mother mother had a quaint notion of the things a gentlemen carried in his pockets - a money clip and a small pocket knife. She got me both and I promptly lost both.

A chiropractor would tell you to put it into the front pocket. Backs do best in proper alignment.

[+ Charlie]

I carry two wallets, one with ID cards (driver's license, AAA, health insurance, library card, etc., the other with cash and credit cards. Both are in my front pockets. I usually wear cargo pants/shorts (one of the perks of being retired and living in a resort town).

[jawjateck]

Back pocket. If I can't feel that thing poking me in the ass, then I know something is very wrong.

[BabyBoomer]

No wallet. Carry cash, debit card, DL, health insurance / Rx card all in left front pocket.

[bigvalboy]

I carry a rather fat wallet. More cash than credit, and I carry it in my front pocket. It's safer and...well it sort of fills out the front rather nicely.

[Gvtire]

In a backpack I carry with me, that I use for my insulin pens and supplies.
