I currently have a (vegan) leather wallet. It holds up well, but it puts an unattractive bulge in my skinny jeans. The fact that I carry loads of cash doesn’t help.
I wonder if carrying a money clip is a good alternative.
Not only wrapping your money in a clip seems more practical, I assume it also has social advantages.
Bartender won’t pay attention to me? I wave a wad of cash. A woman pulling her purse closer to her body? I wave a wad of cash, hell I don’t need to mug anyone. A bunch of young pretty ladies just strolling in the park? I wave a wad of cash. When I want to show up the assholes I play poker with? I wave a wad of cash. When I’m asked to stop loitering (indirectly accusing me of being homeless)? I wave a wad of cash.
So, does anyone use a money clip? Advantages and disadvantages?
I just carry a folded wad of cash in my pocket. Why does it need to be clipped together?
By the way, you forgot to mention how hard it is to fit your enormous johnson in your skinny jeans. Because that’s about the only obvious sneak-brag you left out of the OP.
I have used one for about 20 years. I don’t like having bulky things like a wallet in my back pocket and keep my clip in the front. I have my driver’s license, insurance card, credit card and ATM card in there with my cash. I love it and won’t ever go back to wallets.
He may have an arrogant tone, but I found his post to be worthy of a chuckle. Don’t forget to put the $100s on the outside of your money clip - keep those lowly 1s in the inside.
For what it’s worth, I think you’re reading waaaaaay too much into his posts.
A money clip says you’re too cool for school, where wallet = school. But the ultimate cool is to have “people” who handle all that crass money stuff for you.
I have a couple of them, but lately only use them when I’m flying. I used to use them regularly when I wore suits/slacks daily. These day I’m rarely carrying cash unless I’m travelling. Except the emergency $20 I keep in my wallet. That is the only cash I ever have in my wallet.
I just use a binder clip from the office supply cabinet at work. Or I DID until my wife’s gay friend couldn’t stand looking at it any more and bought me a real wallet. A real wallet that is now disintegrating. Disintegrating in a way I’m sure the binder clip never will.
I use an old single-side cigarette case. Protects my cards from getting bent or otherwise fucked up, and holds more than enough folded bills than I ever need to carry at any given time.
I have used a thin money clip for 30 years. I recently gave up my wallet in favor of a PCMCIA case that holds my ID and four or five other cards. I carry both in a front pocket.
I have a card wallet for cards (many more than I like), a money clip for bills and a coin cunt (sorry, but I don’t know what else to call it) for coins. Very convenient.
Those are two separate things. I may have taken you posts too seriously, but I read them exactly as you posted-- I read nothing into them that wasn’t in the words written.
I’m an old guy. I just don’t feel comfortable unless I have a coupla hundred in cash. It goes back to the days when not everybody had credit cards. It comes in handy, and I’ve never had anyone say ‘we don’t thake that’. Big purchases go on a card, but a cup of coffee is paid for in greenbacks.
I keep 20s in my wallet, but small bills in a clip, so I don’t have to dig out my wallet from around my enormous Johnson just to pay for lunch.
I also figure if I’m ever mugged I’ll drop the clip and run, if I don’t trip over my enormous Johnson.
