Hey guys! Good day to all of you
I would just like to ask you if do most of us here likes to keep our money in a wallet/purse or just use our pocket, which do you prefer? As for me i like to keep it in my wallet, and also a purse for coins...I do have a friend who just puts his money on his pocket, so there would be times wherein he would loose some of his money. Was there a time wherein you forgot to bring your wallet?
I had an embarrasing experience on this. It happened 2 years back. A day that i woke up very late for work, i got up and went straight to take a bath and then dressed up and picked up my bag and went to work. Road a jeepney (public utility vehicle), it's always this way, i had to commute to go to work everyday.. halfway i checked my bag for my wallet and only to find out that it wasn't there.I checked every pocket in my bag and found coins, it wasn't enough but i was lucky the driver understood. It was really embarrassing and from that day on, i learned to always check my wallet/purse in my bag before leaving...well..lol! i guess i learned.

The best thing is to use a wallet i think,hubby uses a wallet,quite a large one actually,and thats not to carry lots of money!!..but theres been many a time that he has just put some money into his pocket,and then later he has gone to look for t and its vanished!The problem is that many mens pockets arent very deep and as soon as they sit down the coinage just falls out of them,and its bad enough to lose the coins,but sometimes he has just literally stuffed a note into his pocket to find that he has lost that as well,which is really maddening.

I usually put money in my "magic wallet" which is a very small wallet, and keep that in my purse. Unfortunately sometimes I do take that out and use it on its own...then I will occasionally forget and leave with the purse with no wallet in it! This is very bad...
Occasionally I will just stick money in my pocket, (though for some reason most clothing manufacturers do not think women need pockets), I believe it is good to keep some money in the pocket in case my purse is stolen; however the money does not always stay there very well and I have come close to losing money that way.

Well I put them mostly on my front pockets, sometimes on my wallet and bag. In short, I put them everywhere. Because if ever I would come across a robber, the one's he'll mostly ask for is my wallet. If I put some extra cash away on my wallet, then I have a big chance of keeping some for me to get home and/or report the incident to a nearby police station.
As for work, I don't take my wallet away and at least double-check my stuff before going out of the house. That way, I know that I won't cause any trouble for other folks who're all bustling their way to get early for work.

I place my money in my jeans pocket. Loose change is thrown in while dollar bills and the like are carefully wrapped around a supermarket discount card and used as needed. So far, knock on wood, I've successfully used this and haven't lost any money. For important bank business, however, I'll use a pocketbook.

Wow thats a real embarassing experience you got her my friend. You are lucky enough that the driver was kind enougha nd did not make any fuzz about it at all. I was in the same situation but I didnt have enough courage to tell the driver, I just walked down from the jeepney and did not pay the fare coz I forgot to bring the wallet.

Hi mycharm!
I prefer to place my money in purse, sometimes in different purse according to purpose. I also place money in my bag's pockets.
Just yesterday, I felt nervous when I discovered I have not taken back my shoulder bag at the airport inspection area. My cellphone and wallet was inside that bag.
I was running back to ask the guard if they had seen it and thanks, they safe keep it. After some investigations about my identity, I retrieved my bag.
Whew! what a forgetful brain....

i hate wallets ,i put the cash in my pocket with a rubber band around it ,and the rubber band stops pick pockets from being able to get your cash because the rubber band kind of sticks to the inside of the pocket ,so if anyone tries to take it out you can feel it

I prefer to keep my money in my wallet. I find that that is the easiest way for me to keep my money organized. Besides, why would I own a wallet if I wasn't going to use it? ;-)

I put bigger bills in my wallet... I can't leave my wallet at home cuz my ID's in it-or else I won't be able to enter school!:O When I buy stuff, I put my change in my pocket-the coins and smaller bills. When I commute, I place my "commute" money (the exact amount and usually coins) in my pocket also so I won't have to bring out my wallet and expose it to robbers ahahaha^^

I keep my money in my wallet in my purse. Sometimes if I am going to the mall will have a smaller wallet that will fit in my pocket so don't have to carry a purse all over. Just gets way to heavy on shoulder. I have never forgotten my wallet but recently went to local Sams club and they only take a personal check and certain credit cards. Well I forgot my checkbook but fortunately they took discover card. Just wish they would take your debit card. Life is full of surprises that isf or sure. Like you said you double check the next time.

I have a wallet for paper money and I have a coin purse. I also have other wallet for emergency sake.What happened to you happens to me also, but the driver is not considerate so I get out of jeep and went home again. Obviously I was late at work.

I usually put it in my wallet and then put some small bills in my pocket. That way when I'm riding in public I don't have to reach through my wallet I just pull it out in my pocket :D
