I love how millennial has become the new code for old. Gen X has been skipped again. As always.

that's dumb. I have a wallet and so does everyone else I know in my age. Im gEn Z. these stupid generational labels make no sense

Im not about to trust a single point of failure with everything. If my phone breaks I want alternative options

Uhm... on top of not having my phone as my single payment method... where should I carry my id and driver's license and medical card if not in the wallet? Should I carry them loose in the pocket? Or in my bag? Why? That's so unconvenient and in the long term ends up damaging them.

I strayed into not taking a wallet out with me briefly, then I realised my life shouldn't rely on Apple or Android (or my (lack of) ability to charge devices).

My wallet isn’t owned by a tech conglomerate that has access and admin privileges to everything inside of it. Also, I just don’t want my phone to be everything, especially my I.D.

Paying with cash is the most private method. I hope it stays.

Admittedly, I only have a couple of gen Z friends, but they both have the biggest wallets of anyone I know.

Let me break out my checkbook in the grocery store line and watch their souls leave their bodies.

I work retail and the number of phones/watches that have just failed to work means I'm never replacing my card. Sure, they could just be idiots who don't know how to use it like the people who can't use cards, but card just works.

I get it you can pay with your phone these days. But I also have an ID and a public transportation card which can't be on my phone. Also I have cash on me. Where to keep that? Every time I pull out my phone or keys money falls out of I keep it loosely in there. I know Gen Z doesn't have any money, but where do you keep your drivers licence and public transportation card? And insurance card? Where do you keep your drugs then? I have some coke and keta in there as well. Putting it in my pockets and it ends up in the washing machine. And I keep a set of earplugs in there for when I go to a party or concert. Because I would always forget to grab them, I now have them with me all the time.

I've worked in IT support/Security for too long to have any of my cards just a short nfc tap away from being stolen.

But... How do they pay for the finest black market goods if they don't have a wallet to carry cash around?

I left my wallet on my work desk and a youngling helped walk me through using my phone to pay for my drive-through coffee order. I felt so cool and high tech.

Of course, when we got to "turn on NFC" the youngling asked what NFC was. I think I told him it was like Bluetooth and let the phone talk to the card reader.

My older "forgot my wallet" technique was to make an online order for pick up and enter my organically memorized credit card information into the online form.

Us millennials must age gracefully if youth can't recognize our age until they ask for our wallet

Yeah but inside it is $3.50

Every single person I know has a wallet, im 26

Yeah, humans still occasionally acquire important small pieces of paper or plastic that are convenient to stow in some type of small container that can be keep on the person, what a shock.

Idk What this people could be on about, I'm 22 and like, I have a wallet and a miniwallet that detaches from the main wallet.

Paper cash I usually don't have, but like cards and stuff.

People keep talking about cash but I have a bunch of other shit in my wallet too, like ID card, insurance cards, bank card, several coupons, a bottle return receipt, cancer screening documentation, antiFamily card, pension card, organ donor card, and I don't even have a driver's license or that would go in there too.

Where do the youngsters keep all that?
