@lain@lain.com I tried to carry a wallet because the wife got me one, I then proceeded to lose it within a few weeks, with IDs and money and other important stuff. I think the wallet most likely fell off my pocket in a park. Never lost stuff before a wallet, never lost again after a wallet. Wallet bad.
I instead put things in different pockets in my pants and jacket, based on importance and access frequency. Small money bills, note-paper, pen, to low importance pockets, IDs or big money, in high importance pocket. Almost never touch high importance pockets, so things in them never get lost.
Wallet made me practically pull out every important thing I'm carrying when all I wanted was small change. Maybe the solution is to carry multiple wallets, but I'm too traumatized to even try again.
@lain i hate phone wallets and i credit card and ID maxx, so i need the space for 7 pieces of plastic. plus i get paid in cash occasionally so it's useful to carry around
@lain i never got used to carrying a wallet. As a kid, when I started to need money with me all the time, contactless stickers were already a thing (and you could also use just a card case for a phone, which I bought *a lot* in my life), so it's kinda weird, but for me carrying a wallet is a special occasion (e.g. when I'm travelling outside my Heimat) that demands a little bit of planning
@kaia@lain No independent pay processor? Most people here use mercadopago and google pay doesn't catch, I'd assume there's some local alternative over there too.
