They is risk they don't work if you sit on it all the time. Just use a cigarette case or something like that. Or take the girl back to your place and problem solved.

What's everyone think, a second credit card necessary or a debit card?

When I'm at home, it's two credit cards, one debit, so that's three on one side of the card holder. Then ID, transit and cocktail/bar card on the other end that I just jam together in the picture side (the transit and cocktail are swipe anyway). Money in a money clip. When I travel, the transit, club and credit cards get replaced with Nexus, airline, and AMEX respectively.

I still find it's too many cards and you can see the imprint on the front of my pants but still better than a full wallet. I don't have a car so the insurance papers stay in the wallet whenever I get behind the wheel.

I think I got it figured out now.

Driver's License
Credit Card 1
Credit Card 2 (laminated photocopy of my health insurance behind)
Money

Is a debit card something I can do without?

public transport card doesn't fit in a wallet (or in my case a Luk-cha sccw) as the size to large and I only carry it when I know that I have you public transport, which is as rarely as possible.

My gym card lived in my gym bag, back when I was going to a gym (before my knee injury).

Cash goes in coin pocket or loosely in pocket or a money clip.

My public trans card is the same size as a credit card or smaller...

What do I need a debit card for that a CC can't do?

In case you need cash?

 

[jakeyt]

Isn't that why I have cash in there? And can't I take an advance out my credit card given that my bank has any ATM everywhere (my card being with my bank)?

If you want to pay insane interest rates on cash advances.

And the answer is no, you don't need a debit card...but you need an ATM card and most ATM cards are also debit cards (usually have to make a special request to get ATM only)

Yes you don't need a debit card.

I never carry a debit/atm card normally. If I know I'll be needing some cash, I'll bring my debit card and get what I need ahead of time. There is truly no need for a debit card otherwise. The only time you need cash these days is for illegal / black market activities, although with Square you probably don't even need cash anymore.

So much fail. So much facepalm. So much groupthink. So much stupid. And all in a thread about a wallet's contents. Thank you sf for delivering like only you can.
