I really want to move from my George Costanza bulging wallet to one of those small credit card type wallets. How in the hell do you all manage that? Yes I probably have too much in my wallet. But you never know when you will need something that is in there. If I make the switch I can see the thin wallet getting overloaded in less than a week with receipts, change from a 20s 50s, 100s, and what not. It's like my current fatty is not even big enough.

Get a box or a bag and put the stuff in there that you don't use but may need at some point I.e. AAA, hotel reward cards, osha card, certification cards, autozone card etc etc

Know where that is when you need it but what I did is I put all of my member numbers in my phone where I can get them when I need them. As for receipts I can hold a weeks worth but I don't normally carry cash.

Thin wallets are racist. Cops hate them as well.

Best decision I ever made. If you're keeping receipts for work, take a picture.

Keep a few bills folded up in the middle and you're good to go. I probably have 10-15 cards in the clip and have room for more.

I'd love to do this but I keep too much money in my wallet.

So then don't do it. Dilemma solved.

Didn't know you were a woman. Most women refer to that as a purse.

I travel all over the country for work and carry everything I need in a front pocket wallet/money clip.. I have my debit card, - business credit card, a personal Amex and personal Visa, my health insurance card, sam's card and my health savings card, and my drivers license. I don't carry much cash, cause I put everything on my Amex for the sky miles and pay the balance every month. All the other membership cards, etc that you have can either be kept on file at the places you're going or saved on an app.

Why do you need to carry a lot of cash? Are you a gambler? Everywhere you go takes credit/debit cards.

I have an iPhone case that holds 3 cards. Id, work credit card, personal debit card.

If I need cash I grab some and pocket it. There's almost no need for cash these days.

If I need another id or card that day, I pocket it that day.

I only carry my driver's license and the AmEx card with me and a very small amount of cash. The other cards like my insurance card and stuff like that I just keep in my console to use when I need them

I carry about 6 cards and some cash held together via a medium size binder clip.

I have a Belroy Note Sleeve and it is pretty slim and awesome. Unless I am wearing jeans, I can't feel it in my back pocket when driving.

I have been using the thin wallet for about 3 years. License, bank card, credit card. That's it. If I do carry cash it just folds over very easily.

I keep my license, another ID card, a few credit cards, hotel travel cards, and some cash.

There are solutions to your problems, you just need to figure them out.

Best choice. Wallets suck. No need for all that bs. Cash and a few cards all you need.
