Hey everyone, I’ve been wondering, do you actually use all of those different things to carry your cards and money? You know, wallets, cardholders, phone cases with card slots, and now even digital wallets on your phone. I feel like there's so much to choose from these days! I’m curious how many of these things you actually use on a regular basis and if you find one more convenient than the others. Do you think it's better to keep everything separate or combine them into one? How do you stay organized?

Great question! Personally, I’ve started to move towards using fewer physical items. I used to carry a traditional wallet that had everything—cards, cash, receipts—but I found it bulky. Now, I’ve switched to a cardholder https://www.walletking.co.uk/credit-card-holders/men-s-card-holders.html , and I use my phone for pretty much everything else. It’s definitely easier when you just tap to pay for something, and I keep a small cardholder for just the essentials: an ID, a couple of credit cards, and maybe some cash. Having everything in one place, like a phone case with a card slot, does sound convenient, but I’m always worried about what would happen if I lose my phone. So, I like to keep them separate for security. I think digital wallets are super convenient, but you still need physical cards in case something goes wrong. How do you balance that?
I’m a bit old school—I still love carrying a traditional wallet, but I’ve definitely streamlined it over the years. I used to carry way too many things: store cards, receipts, and even random business cards! Now, I just stick to the essentials, but I do like having a wallet for cash, even though I don’t use cash that much anymore. As for digital wallets, I use them too, especially for quick payments, but I feel like there’s still something reassuring about having physical cards on me. Maybe it's just habit, but I also think about those times when you need cash or when your phone dies. I’ve never tried the phone cases that double as wallets, though. Does anyone use those? Would love to hear if they're practical?
