23. I use a wallet

which I carry in a leather hip pouch I bought at a Renaissance Faire before hand surgery, so I could carry everything on one side. Also in the pouch are my passport, a spare cellphone battery, and my house and car keys (which thanks to keyless entry and ignition, I rarely have to take out of the pouch)

I also carry a money clip in a front pocket. Decades ago, a "travel wisely" video suggested keeping ID and money separately, so if a robber confronts you, you can throw the money at him and skedaddle the other way with you cards and ID.

I USED to carry a handkerchief, but not out of the habit.

I'd rather not have to carry around cards. Voltaire2 Sep 2019 #1

I still carry a wallet but gave up on handkerchief years ago. 3Hotdogs Sep 2019 #3
Good point. And shirt sleeves can be rolled up as needed to hide the evidence. dameatball Sep 2019 #4
