WALLET GIVEAWAY AND BLOG
Two Things to Focus on when Buying a Wallet: Functionality and Presentability.
Wallet Functionality
What do we mean here?
Your wallet’s ability to do what it needs to do. And for a lot of us, that’s carrying money. That’s carrying cash, so a wallet needs to be able to carry cash.
However, you don’t want to carry too much.
Other things you should carry in your wallet:
- Identification
- Credit cards
- Business cards
- Photos
In general, you want to carry as little as possible.
Things you want to leave out:
- Discount cards
- Library cards
- Medical cards
- Social security card
- Coins – unless you’re in Europe. I understand Europeans, you guys have a lot of coins, so there, I can’t help you.
- Receipts – a lot of you guys are carrying receipts that you’ve had for five years in your wallet. Just take it out and put it away.
Getting back up to some of the cards, I realized that some of these, you may use that discount card every single day.
In that case, keep it in your wallet, but a lot of you guys are carrying discount cards that you haven’t shopped at that store for six months. Take the card out.
The Right Wallet for the Right Job:
1. You need to understand your needs. Obviously, if you’re a banker or you’re someone that’s spending a lot of time as an outdoor guide, your wallet needs are going to be different.
2. There’s nothing wrong with having multiple wallets. So if you’re going to be traveling, I know that I always use my passport wallet because I’m traveling with five people. I’ve got three kids, so five passports I’m carrying and I need to have room.
3. Leather is dressier than synthetic. Also, the darker the leather, usually the dressier it is, although that’s not always the case.
4. Remember this rule, if nothing else, the smaller your wallet is, the less you will carry.
