Combining your wallet (or credit cards) with your cellphone, is foolish and personally irresponsible.

I understand the idea of consolidation and easy access. But phone snatching is so prevalent these days, because of how mindless phone droning makes people unaware of their surroundings. You’re basically just including your ID, credit cards, etc into one neat little package.

Spread out your loss and theft surface.

    I heard something of a joke once, saying if you go out to the beach or wherever and need to leave your wallet and stuff behind, wrap your stuff in a diaper.

    Like, who would think to check a supposedly dirty diaper for valuables? LOL, sounds silly enough to actually work though 😂🤣

      I would advise against that myself. If your partner or your hotel cleaner find a diaper sitting out somewhere they probably wont hesitate to throw it in the bin. Then you find youself digging through a dumpster and ripping open diaper after diaper hoping its the one containing your wallet and nothing else.

        I hear ya there. I think the context of the original joke was specifically for going to the beach though, not like you tend to have cleaning maids come by to take ‘trash’ off your beach towel. 🤷‍♂️
