Used to use one. Didn't like a wallet and using a money clip was nice. Now I don't even use that, just my bills folded over my cards.

i like using a money clip...i actually go the cheap route and get an extra large binder clip...you cab hold about 3 grand or so in twenties before it cant really hold any more...you can get about 3500 in there if you put the clip on the side instead...

how many whores do you manage?

how many do you want ;)

EDIT: off topic, a buddy of mine did have a couple whores for a little while...it was pretty amusing...he'd hang out in the parking lot of a sleazy hotel and these whores would go bring money to him...after he had to deal with a couple people trying to not pay them he decided it was too much trouble pimping and quit lol

Your buddy sucks @ the Kneecapping.

I have used a money clip for several yeas now. It was difficult at first, beacsue I just carried so much crap in my wallet, but now I only carry my DL, ATM/Debit Card, Check Card, and some cash. Very light, very convenient. By not carrying any *real* credit cards, I can avoid impulse purchases with them. If I am planning on using one, I just take it with me when I leave the house. Works for me.

The only things I miss was sometimes I'd get all "punk" and carry a wallet with some chains on it. Now I have to fake it by just hooking the chains from my front belt loop to a back belt loop. Poseur! :p

I had never used a money clip until my best friend gave me one as a present for being a groomsman at his wedding. It has my initials on it and the date of his wedding. I always carry it with me.

Do I need it? Probably not. Would I buy another one in the future? Probably not. But I use the clip I have because of its sentimental value.

False. I average about $8 in mine at all times. :p

Kramer: Nobody carries a wallet anymore. All you need is a few cards and your money. You put the big bills on the outside.
Jerry: That's a five.

There are some people here at the office who may or may not be of a specific culture, and hot damn do they like to count their money in front of people. I don't know if they are addicted to the sound, the feel... but they definitely like you to know they have it when they do.

Daily Itinerary - 7:55am Go to bank and withdraw a ton of cake
8:05am Arrive at work and play with money

Although on that same vein, I don't like it to be plainly visible that I have a clip with a wad of cash attached to it when I take it out of my wallet. It's harder to see how much, if any, money I have left in my wallet.

And I won't drop all my sh!t when I try to take something out of the clip :)

No, because the smallest bill here is $5, so i never have more than a few bills on me.

I do use one for my smaller bills, keep the bigger bills in the wallet. But generally I don't carry too much money, tend to use the debit card more.
