Do you always bring a wallet with you wherever you go?

I have been asked this thousand times by different people already because they have observed that I don't usually bring my wallet with me. Yeah, that's true. WHen I go out, sometimes, I just bring money with me and put it in a small coin purse. That's all. BUt sometimes, I bring it with me especially if I'll be needing some important documents like I.Ds, Credit card, ATMs, etc. One thing, I'm also afraid of robbers. It would be fine with me if they would steal my coin purse rather than have my wallet be stolen.

I usually bring my wallet with me in case something happens where I might need my ID. I may take out some of the cash and credit cards, though. But, I try to keep at least one credit card and enough cash to pay for a phone call or bus fare.

okay this may become stupid or funny but guess what? i dont have any wallet to carry my cash besides my pockets. while i was a kid and around 4-5 years old i asked my dad to buy me a money bag for me. i was curious enough about the bag with many pockets! but my dad didnt buy me any and i wasnt really cool with that. been bugging my dad a while to buy me a wallet and still he didnt buye me. that was the early time i lost interest on and still i dont have any wallet. well honestly i sometimes feel like i should buy one for me but its not a good deal and im comfortable not having any wallet

You're the only one I've heard of having no wallet at all. Cool. Seems interesting on where you would be placing your important documents and cards. lol.

I was on a hurry everyday and sometimes I forgot where I put my wallet that's why I barely bring bulky wallet with me just a purse or even wiser I put some money on the car so if in case I lost a purse I still have a spare lol!!
My wallet is bulky with some ID and some important document which is usually on the leather bag and some coins on my jeans.
But most of the time when I was on the go or in a crowded places like DV (as divisoria lol! or Quiapo) I don't bring wallet just enough money and coins for security purposes.

Same here. When I'm around a crowd, I don't bring my wallet and even my cellphones. Robbery or Stealing is very rampant on those cases so we should all beware, especially on Divisoria. lol. I've not been there yet, but I heard it's a heck crowded. What we have in Cebu is Carbon. They say it's a little smaller than Divisoria. lol

I bring my purse with me whenever I leave the house. If I'm driving, I of course need my license, and at any rate, ID is always good to have on you in case of an emergency, along with your healthcare information if you are in a country that works on that kind of healthcare (yay for US healthcare :-( .

Oh yes, I forgot to mention my driver's license. Yeah, same thing here. If I'm also driving, I also bring my wallet with me. :)

I always bring it with me because when I go out it is for shopping or something other activity that requires money. I dont like to put money into my pocker cause it is easy to loose them.

i always bring my wallet with me. i could never manage to get out of the house without it. Everything is in my wallet so just in case i might want to buy something or go somewhere where IDs are needed then the items i need would already be with me. I feel so empty if i don't have my wallet with me when i go out. As for getting robbed, well, that's a risk I'll take.

I nearly always take my wallet with me where ever I go. I used to work in Kansas City, Missouri and if you got stopped there, you had to have some kind of ID. so I have gotten into the habit of bringing my wallet with me where I go.

I dont always carry my wallet around with me and this habit developed after i got mugged twice, since that time i only keep small amount of money and a color copy of my ID card with me nothing else! no ATM cards, no credit cards and certainly no large denomination bills!

You have to be alert. But I would prefer to always carry wallet with us. Anybody does not know when they will require money or credit card, etc. It is just the prefered to carry wallet with us. the another benefit of the wallet is it also have the space for our important documents such as ATM or Debit Card, Credit Card, and some other Hard Paper documents. In short it will be one type of vault which we can carry with us.

i actually don't bring wallet too... i also use coin purse most of the time, but i don't put all my money there. i put some on my back pocket, on my bag's pockets, etc. but i also got this id holder which i always bring everywhere i go. i am not used to going out without any identification card with me so what i do is i separate the cards from the money.

I always have my wallet with me since I have my ID, drivers license, ATM card, a couple of credit cards and my business cards. Apart from that, my house key is in my wallet too. If I don't bring it, the worst would be that I could not get into my house :p

well i don't use wallets, but i do have a coin purse.
Using wallets is too much of a hassle for me. I wanna go out and not have to worry about losing my wallet if ever. i don't usually go out with a lot of money anyway so why use a wallet? I don't want to put all my IDs and credit cards and other stuff in a wallet because if it gets lost it's gone forever. (Unless it can be replaced or something)
I'm not against using wallets, it's just that i don't really think it's important for me to use one. ^_^

I usually always carry my wallet wherever i go. Id feel lost without its comfortable bulge. A wallet is quite convenient as it can hold various cards, my driving license, etc.

Defintely, I bring wallet everytime I go outside the office. If ever, I may passes by at any store and accidentally found an item, I can buy as well as food. For some reason, for security purposes also.

In the United States, it is illegal to not have ID on your person at all times. If you don't want to bring your entire wallet, fine...but at least bring your ID with you.
