Tell me, what do you like in a wallet. Of course a dumb question, money

Bi-fold and thin. Second wallet now that is NOT leather and love it. Nylon isn't so hot and seems to flex better. I too try to keep it empty and take it out of pocket on trips otherwise my back hurts. Bought my last on from Duluth Trading and Yes, I would buy another.

I've used one of these for years.... Ultra Slim Original | Slim Wallets by Allett

It's made out of the same nylon used to make sails. The one currently in my pocket is probably 8 or 9 years old with very little wear. The other great thing is that they don't require a "break-in period" in order to get it soft and pliable like a leather wallet does. Fill it up and stick it in your pocket.

I went with the ridge wallet The Ridge Wallet: Slim, RFID blocking metal wallet. after years of having a trifold. So glad I did, I removed 3/4 of the stuff I had in my wallet that was never needed.

I hate having anything in my pockets that I can feel. Over the years, I've reduced what I carry in my wallet to the bare bones. ID, debit card, business cards, insurance, Sams club, hunting license and health insurance. I rarely have more then $20 cash.

This is my current, favorite wallet. I went with Yellow because I have a habit of taking out my wallet, setting it down, and then forgetting where I put it. Yellow shows up easily and has ended all my looking for the wallet issues.

I used to use tri-fold but they are too thick when filled with minimal cards, etc. I have been in the bi fold arena for the last 20 years or so and find them to be much better on the sciatica nerve than tri fold. I also culled out my unnecessary cards and other items. I now have only one credit card and one debit card plus my ID cards ( VA, drivers license and CCW). The rest I discarded. I found that I don't need a dozen store credit cards nor any other credit card other than my MasterCard which I use exclusively for internet purchases rather than my debit card.

I agree with others that it is hard to find a good wallet that will comfortably hold even my limited cards and I had to give up carrying photos of anyone since finding a wallet with a good photo carrier is almost impossible.

I am taking the hint. Ha. I just ordered a oversize one from E-bay. I will try and eliminate some cards. Will try and leave the ones I use for each vehicle in vehicle.

When I first started with wallets back in about 1965 I was enamored with leather bifolds having elaborate art, but they were made by my Grandfather for ME.
He passed in about 1972 so the supply dried up. Since I started going to S Korea in about 1989 I've been "stuck" on eelskin trifolds. Very thin by themselves and they usually lasted about 4 years before "retirement". My last buy of them was about 2002 ($4@) and I've used 2 or 3 up and have several left. I figure if I conserve their usage they will last as long as my money.

I have to agree with the "don't keep it in the back pocket". I usually wear cargo pants and they are ideal for stuffing a bunch of things in and the wallets last a LOT longer.

And I'm surprised "they" have not come out with a true "MASTERCARD" that one could load all the pertinent cards (like Lowes discount, insurance cards (health, vehicles), drivers license, credit, debit etc.) on digitally and have it universally accepted.
