Do you still use a wallet?

[PennyLany]

I haven’t used a proper wallet in years, I just carry a tiny card holder for debit card + a couple of supermarket cards and pay pretty much everywhere with my phone these days.
Curious to know if people still use a traditional wallet (with the zip and compartments etc) these days. If you do, what is your age? When I go shopping I notice it’s mainly “mature” people using one.
I do miss it but just don’t see the point anymore!

Are you American. I think they say purse when Uk say bag and they say wallet when Uk say purse, if that makes sense.

I'm 69 and haven't used a purse for years. I have debit and credit card on my phone and a cc in my Freedom Pass holder, and usually a £10/£20 in my bag as a contingency. I rarely use cash.

And us ‘older types’ are the ones that still use purses..

I don’t even know where my purse is

Yep.
I have:
Cash
Debt card
Credit card
Tesco card
Sainsburys card
Driving license
Library card for me plus each kid
Stamps

Never bought anything on my phone.

I got a new one for Christmas, a really tiny one. It is just a bit bigger than a card holder with a small zipped area. I have a few coins in it and my trolley coin, stamps, notes and cards.

I almost exclusively use my phone but occasionally need the cards. It lives in my work bag most of the time.

I still use a purse all the time. I go to a lot of collectibles fairs, and most stakeholders prefer cash payment rather than card, so I always have about £40 in cash in my purse. I also carry all my debit and credit cards, and my different loyalty cards, membership cards, coupons, stamps etc. I never use Apple Pay to buy things when I'm out and often don't have my phone with me anyway if I'm only out for a short time.

I'm 44 - I have a purse which has lots of cards, cash, vouchers, loyalty cards, stamps etc in it.
I use my phone to pay for most things, but like having cash when needed.
I'm fascinated by PPs saying they never use cash now - what do you do if you go somewhere & they only take cash? Either because that's the norm (car boot, fete, fair etc) or because the card machine is out?

Men use wallets and women purses. Wallets tend to be flatter.

Can't remember the last time I used cash, definitely before lockdown, so have no need for a purse.

I have a a Pia leather bag that has two compartments and a middle zipped bit. The compartments have card holders so cards go in one side phone in the other side.

I pay everything by phone.

I'm obviously 'mature' and probably 'frumpy' as I have a purse which I carry in my handbag (along with a first aid kit, a fold up shopping bag and my reliever inhaler). I have some notes, coins, cards, copy of the car insurance and driving licence in my purse. I don't use my phone to pay for anything.

I have one of my credit cards on my phone and a lot of the time this is fine so I will just go out with that and my travelcard.

When going to work, or shopping or anywhere further afield, I take a little cardholder with my health card (for pharmacy and medical appointments - I have a lot) and my 2 physical credit cards plus usually around 60-80 Euros in cash and a couple of coins, plus a luncheon voucher type card from work that I can use to buy bread and food at the market or supermarket, coffees.

I haven't had a wallet bigger than a cardholder for years but I've never been a big purse person (perhaps down to the trend for teeny tiny handbags when I was a young woman?)

Late 60s and only carry a phone, have all my debit, credit and loyalty cards on it. Love paying this way and not having to carry a vag and fumble for my purse.

Bag not vag obviously....

Where I live many places still only take cash, and cards would be frowned upon for a 1€ coffee, so I have a small man's wallet with a built-in coin purse. Most of the time I use Apple Pay though. I hardly ever carry a bag - nothing to put in it.

I hope nobody’s fumbling around in a vag for a purse!

I still use a purse. I have DC at primary school and cash is very much present in our lives in the form of £1 and 50p coins mostly. But I do also use cash other times. DP often gets paid in cash so we do have some knocking around and I take £20 every month or so which does get used up here and there.

I use a small clear plastic zipped bag as a purse.

I have a beautiful Aspinal wallet/purse that my husband bought for my 40th. In just the last few years I've gone from taking it out regularly to hardly ever, as i now have all my cards (including loyalty and points) on my phone. A shame really as i love it, but it has been rendered virtually useless.

Im late 30s and have a variety of purses I switch around depending on my mood/ the season -I have a christmas purse, spring/ aautumn, a smaller summer one as I'm more likely to be using a backpack or a small cross body bag, I have fancy purses and casual purses, and some of them have bags to match! (All collected over the last 10-15 years). I don't pay on my phone ever, I prefer my debit card or cash.

I have a very small purse that lives in the bottom of my bag in case my phone dies or network issues.

I used to have a ridiculously large Radley wallet back when they were actually trendy in about 2000

Card holder.

Unless I'm on holiday and then I use money and take a change purse.

I use a card holder

50 and have a purse stuffed with so much junk (probably still a Blockbusters card in there somewhere!).
For some reason though Im very minimalist at home and yet feel the need to carry a ton of useless junk around with me.... 'just in case'.🙄

yes always, large wallet with cards, vouchers, coins, notes and paracetamol😊

I have a smaller purse now than I used to as very little cash is carried. I don't use Apple-pay as I like to use my cards. I also use a handbag to keep my purse and phone in and I love a handbag as well :) 53 young here.

I don't pay for anything by phone I only use cards. I have a card sized purse/wallet, it zips and can hold a lip balm, a tissue and my keys.
