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

    Strangely enough thats exactly why I dont carry a wallet. I carry all the things you'd expect in your wallet, but spread out over all my pockets.

    Depending on how much stuff that is, that's actually insane.

    Its all mixed in with like snack wrappers that I havent found a bin for, and a biro that might or might not explode at any moment, and a tangle of wires, and a few receipts, and some vape paraphernalia, and on and on.

    Mug me if you like, we'll be here for hours.

    And you have time to set this up each morning before you leave?

    Oh no, just wear the same trousers for a few days, same jacket for a week or two. Empty shit when its time to change and let it accumulate in the meantime.

    I dont intend to let it accumulate. Every time I swear im going to keep them tidy this time, but ive been an adult for about 20 years now so I dont see it actually changing any time soon

    I will lose a wallet and keys, but I won't lose my phone. It's that simple. I have a keypad lock on my house and a car which uses a phone key, so I only carry my phone and it's the most liberating thing ever. A few years back I rented again for a year when I moved to a new city, and the mental stress of needing to carry a key around was so much higher than I remembered it being.

    Eh, my wallet is a single point of failure. My phone is/can be backed up and recovered if lost, stolen, or broken.

    Not to mention, if you lose your phone, you can remotely deactivate it, and it (can) take a pin or biometric to unlock the phone and access the data. Your lost/stolen wallet means anyone who has it has access to all the info in it, and you have to go through the hassle of deactivating cards and getting new cards.

    In a better world, phone-based payment and IDs would be far superior. The problem is that the current companies and governments involved in setting that up are a bunch of invasive money-grubbing fuckwads.
