I lost my money again! How do you organize your money and what kind of bag do you put it in

[hellokittymania]

I went out with 25 pounds this morning, but a coffee and cookie and milk. I only came home with 10 pound note and 4 pound coins and 1P Really really frustrated. I went back out and asked people if they had seen money somewhere, but I'm guessing somebody took it already or it must've blown away.

Is there a bag with Velcro or something else that's very easy to open? Visit on my current bag is very hard to grip to open it, and money falls out of my pocket a lot. I don't know how to organize it The zip on my current bag, not visit

I don't do money because of this, I lose it or it ends up in th wash by accident , I just use a debit card as it's less hassle then all the little bits of money and if I lose it I can cancel the card from my phone straight away. Is that an option?

Is there a way to set a daily limit on a card? I have used it, but often find it very hard to keep track of what I'm spending. I still haven't mastered online banking, so I can't check the balance. I find that when I take cash out with me, I am more aware of what I'm spending and don't buy things that I don't need.

I'm not sure, mine doesn't have a limit but I top it up from another account iyswim so I transfer a monthly amount into it then the app itself updates to tells me how much I've spent that day and how much I have left so I find it's easy to keep on top of as I can visually see how much I've spent/got left

I have a very simple purse that my grandma bought me years ago and which I'm very very attached to. Sometimes I do purse and phone in pockets but I do have a bag which I like. It's taken me years to find a bag as mostly I only like rucksacks because they are even when you wear them. The bag I have has an easy to undo zip and then a flap over the top. I like it because it's very soft so I can manage it. I can't load it up though as if it's heavy I feel wrong so it tends to just have purse, keys, phone, tissues, lip balm and a pen in it.

My purse and phone both fit into my jeans pockets without falling out. I do tend to use a card though as I'm bad with actual cash. I love the app idea. I have online banking set up on my phone so I can easily keep track of things. I don't often spend much tbh so it's not to bad.

Are you using a purse? A simple cross body bag would probably be best, and then keep your money in a purse in your bag.

You probably need to go and get a feel for some to see what feels right. TKMaxx can be very good.
