Where do you keep your drivers license or ID?

Well, I'm a millennial and a few days ago I saw a guy paying for his lunch with his watch. Needless to say, I was horrified

I’m in my 50s and don’t have a wallet. Only my phone. I can conjure up a wallet if I have to, but it’s not a normal thing for me. My watch is analog. License is on the My Colorado app.

I cut a thin piece of leather, folded it, and sewed up 2 of the sides. It holds my license, credit card, Costco card, and a folded up $20. Pretty much unnoticeable in my pocket

Political?

I gave up the wallet for a bit and then brought it back. Didn't like the card sleeves alone

The other day I saw a guy struggle for 2+ mins trying to scan his membership card on his phone to activate a gas pump. Meanwhile cars were lining up behind him, he was super flustered and eventually he had to pull around to the back of the line to try again. Have fun with your phone apps but that shit ain't for me, I'll just be an old dude carrying my cards around

I’m a millennial. I dont carry a wallet but I have a wallet style phone case where I keep my cash and cards. Is that what they mean or does my phone wallet count?

I don't carry a wallet since it was stolen last year.

To me it seems like it's up to what you prioritize. If you prioritize convenience, nothing can beat one thing to keep track of – especially if it's the one thing you spend all your time on (easy to track, and less likely to lose because you spend too much time on it).

I'm from that small slice between proper millennial and gen Z (94-98), where we experienced the social media and smart technology boom during our teenage years. I directly experienced the rapid shifts and pressure to use all the trendiest social medias, smart appliances and the accompanying apps, cheap streaming services, easy shopping, every device using the same usb standard, dynamic smartphone designs, touch payment etc. During that time and uni, I would've jumped at the chance to coalesce everything onto one device, but couldn't because the infrastructure wasn't there. We were technologically "naive", thinking technology would only become increasingly more convenient without having any trade-offs.

But now, we are all aware of the negative consequences, politics, and burdens of being reliant on these services and infrastructure from the technological monopolies. Half the conversations with my friends of this age group end up being about what trade-offs we're willing to put up with for convenience while losing privacy, security, and autonomy. Gen Z grew up with this infrastructure in place and are readily entrapped in it (to no fault of their own). Of course they're going to notice a wallet when they use a more convenient option, because the alternative isn't something they personally experienced nor needed.

Unfortunately, this leaves them vulnerable to the whims of the private companies who control the infrastructure and social media – surcharges on touch payments, increasing costs of streaming, not owning media (games, movies), subscriptions everywhere, social media and smartphone addiction. We're seeing a trend of people choosing away from the convenient option towards privacy and autonomy. . Unless it's an open standard and I have a readily available alternative, I don't use it on my smartphone – hence the wallet.

I'm late GenX, i have a wallet lying around, but it doesn't leave home if it isn't specifically needed. Most of the time my phone is enough.

I'm gen Z and I got a wallet but it's only as big as a card so it only holds cards putting anything else in is a hopeless attempt

You'll have to kill me to make me give up carrying cash

Millenials also raise the roof when in the club.

I can't wait to get rid of my small satchel bag, currently I just have a small leather coin purse that can fit folded bills into for an small stack of cash but I need to keep my passport on me to often as a foreigner with a residency.

i’m a millennial and i carry neither a wallet nor keys

digital ID, apple pay, and codes instead of keys

i lose cards and keys basically monthly if they’re on me. before technology i literally tied things to my bags and clothes. they still sometimes got lost… or i locked myself out (sometimes a weekly occurrence)
