My buddy carries an actual wallet. Not a billfold, a real wallet. It's the size of a dollar bill and folds along the long edge of the dollar, keeping the dollar straight and pressed. It's pretty snazzy.

I disagree..wallets aren't meant to last forever anyway.

My boss uses this velcro strap thing...you wrap it around your cards first and then your cash...

Being in the line of IS / IT we are in we have quite a few cards just related to our jobs. Add in insurance and the like and before you even get to plastic money you have a shitload.

I was looking at that CC device that you program all your cards into (store discount, credit/debit, pretty much anything with a mag strip) and it will spit out any card on a reusable one time only mag strip blank.

It's like $99.

Are you saying that it's an electronic card that reprograms the magnetic strip every time you need to use a card?

I use a leather money clip that has 2 pockets on the other side and another card holder on top.

If you only have 5 cards, then yeah...but it's smaller than the footprint of an average wallet.

I like the retail drones in the iCache thread making statements for their companies.
