    I’m gen Z and I got a wallet but it’s only as big as a card so it only holds cards putting anything else in is a hopeless attempt

      In my car, and I only take it inside when I know I’m going to need it.

      I am someone who loses things. I don’t even have keys at this point. I have a pin pad lock my door.

      The less things I carry, the less things I lose.

        So if you get pulled over, you’ll give your unlocked phone to a cop?

        Oh, honey…

        (Not necessarily “you,” rather anyone who keeps their ID in their phone. Unless you mean a phone case that has an ID slot?)

          I feel the same, but I do think a lot of those id programs will work on the lock screen.

          Still wouldn’t hand a cop my phone.

          It’s not unlocked. It’s tap to scan just like a credit card. Though there’s no law here that you need to carry a license anyway. There isn’t most places as far as I know, but I do carry a physical id when going out of state.

        I recently saw my sister (18, > 15 years younger than me) doing this and it made me so unbelievably anxious. Like, don’t you care that IF you lose that thing you lost every fucking thing? The thought of all the bureaucracy gives me the sweats…

        Edit to add: I’m from Germany. I need to carry a variety of plastic cards.

              The only thing I had to block was my credit card. I did do it with my smartphone, but I could have done that from a computer. I’m a millenial but I just don’t trust my phone, like a boomer. I’m the kind of guy who still uses checks regularly (although it’s kind of a cultural thing, Frenchies do love their checks).

            actually worse because now any random person has your ID and cards… not much someone can do with a phone to extract your info… and getting a digital ID back is usually just a matter of logging in again: no cancelling cards, requesting replacements, potentially paying fees

          you still have a physical ID at home… you just don’t carry it around so it can be lost or damaged

          i’ve lost my ID plenty… i’ve never lost a phone, and even if i did it’s trackable, and the ID is secure so it can’t be sold for identity theft

          and getting the license back even if the phone is completely lost or damaged beyond repair is just logging into the app again; no bureaucracy

          No, I mean it’s all digital. Back in the day though I had one of those phone wallets though. Still have one for traveling out of state. Idk. In ~25 years I’ve never lost either. Knock on wood.

    Well, I’m a millennial and a few days ago I saw a guy paying for his lunch with his watch. Needless to say, I was horrified

    The other day I saw a guy struggle for 2+ mins trying to scan his membership card on his phone to activate a gas pump. Meanwhile cars were lining up behind him, he was super flustered and eventually he had to pull around to the back of the line to try again. Have fun with your phone apps but that shit ain’t for me, I’ll just be an old dude carrying my cards around

    I’m in my 50s and don’t have a wallet. Only my phone. I can conjure up a wallet if I have to, but it’s not a normal thing for me.

    I’m a millennial. I dont carry a wallet but I have a wallet style phone case where I keep my cash and cards. Is that what they mean or does my phone wallet count?

    I cut a thin piece of leather, folded it, and sewed up 2 of the sides. It holds my license, credit card, Costco card, and a folded up $20. Pretty much unnoticeable in my pocket

    I can’t wait to get rid of my small satchel bag, currently I just have a small leather coin purse that can fit folded bills into for an small stack of cash but I need to keep my passport on me to often as a foreigner with a residency.

    I’m late GenX, i have a wallet lying around, but it doesn’t leave home if it isn’t specifically needed. Most of the time my phone is enough.
