Older millienal. I bought the phone case wallet. Opens like a book. I'll admit, when it arrived and I slapped my new phone in it, I realized I've only ever seen old man and women use this kind of case. Felt weird for all of ten seconds. I fucking love it.

That being said, I am surprised how many people are asking where people keep their cards and cash. A lot of people literally just use pockets. Like, they raw dog cash, id, some credit or debit cards and got like 2 or 3 loose keys. Don't get me wrong, they are crazy people and I will literally laugh at them when they wonder aloud where their card is, they JUST had it. But it's a lot of em. (Worked in retail over a decade, still work in a field where I ask people for their stuff and payment).

I just have a card holder since I never use cash, and my partner always carries some on her anyway.

EDIT: am late millennial.

Millennial here, I carry a very small wallet, which holds:

• ID
• health insurance card
• library card
• 2 credit cards
• $50 bill

Sometimes I'll add a debit card if I might need cash for some reason.

If I didn't need the first three, I'd probably risk not bringing one.

Wait my Zoomer buddy definitely has a wallet thicker that George Costanza's. I'm starting to think the internet is just full of lies for making us hate each other.

I also heard by the socks. Millennials do no-show, but apparently high socks are the style now? Those will never not look super dorky to me, so I guess I’m old now.

As a gen z this confuses me, I have a wallet and most people around my age also have one. Sure maybe you could say if they carry cash or not cause I definitely don't carry cash but I still have my wallet cause theres a lot of places that don't accept phone payments.

My phone is at 5%. Fuck yes I have a wallet, I'm not buying a new phone every year. I'm a millennial, by definition I have no money.

Eh, most Millenials don't have "wallets" like older generations had either.

The giant 3-5 inch thick monstrosities.

Even 20 years ago a lot of Gen X had made the switch to just a flat card hold with a couple 20s slid in.

A Millenial with one of those would say they have a wallet. A Gen Z with the same thing would say they had a card holder.

So I think a big part of this is just language evolving.

I’m a young Millennial and I don’t understand why you wouldn’t carry a wallet. Mine is a slim front pocket one, but I need somewhere for my ID and cards. I despise phone wallets and I use tap-to-pay where possible, but not everywhere accepts them for some reason. I also don’t carry cash because I’m not a Boomer. If I’m buying/selling something off Craigslist or whatever, I just use Venmo.

Who doesn’t use a wallet? Are they referring to those card holders and not calling them wallets?

Gen Z here.
Do people really not have wallets now? There's so much I can't carry without a wallet, most importantly my ID. Am I expected to just put that loose in my pockets or bag?
And like, sometimes I'm forced to carry cash for one reason or another. I need a space place to put that.
I'm guessing it's just because the majority of my generation isn't old enough to be regularly encountering these issues. I'm 100% certain it'll change as they age the way I was forced to.

Gen z here... Everyone around me has wallets

Tbf I am in Berlin, the cash capital of the world, but still.

I can understand moving transactions to digital and not needing to keep cash or a debit card… but what about your ID? If I just stuck that in my pocket by itself I’d be worried about losing it!

What, kids don’t carry drugs anymore? What is the world coming to

I think it depends on where you are more than your age. I very rarely carry a wallet on me and I am definitely not Gen Z. That being said, where I live, every legitimate (i.e. non laundering/tax dodging) business accepts paying by phone. I can use public transport by scanning my phone, I can prove my ID by showing my phone, I can claim medical benefits by using my phone, and every franchise has it's own loyalty app I can download on my phone.

You kids and your government tracked money. I buy too many things for cash to not have a wallet.

Wallet in Fanny pack gang, rise up!

Lol, I have to carry my insurance card, ID, debit and credit as well as purchase and travel cards for work along with when I'm at a work site I need to carry my hotel key.

Where else do I keep the cash I need for food truck stops? Like, the good ones that look like a moving hole in the wall. None of this newfangled hipster food truck with pos devices.

Well, I definitely fit in the box, got a leather billfold wallet. I'd say I feel like I've got several good reasons to:

• we don't have digital ID in this country
• For some reason we sometimes get issued paper tickets for the train rather than QR code tickets
• I'm sometimes out all day and late into the evening and don't want a dead phone stopping whatever I'm doing
• I go to enough other countries where you can't get away without using cash
• (Least of all) I find those metal slim wallets to just be a bit ugly looking personally

this seems totally made up, lol. im at the tail end of gen z and all my friends use wallets. mine may usually be empty, but how else you gon carry your ID and shit? "sorry officer I don't have ID, wallets are for oldheads"

I guess I'm a millennial at 21

To be fair the school I went to was trapped in the mid 90s so I still regularly saw VHS tapes and Windows XP for most of my K through 8th grade years

Gen X. Don't use a wallet. Where do I fit in to this theory?
