I'm a mid-range millennial and don't carry cash, my wife is a slightly younger millennial and also doesn't carry cash. I think probably most non-elder millennials don't, but I think everyone needs a wallet. Gotta carry your ID and stuff somehow
I'm a relatively young millennial, and I carry cash because I sometimes go to events where some people don't accept cards.
Even us elder millennials often don't carry cash. I'm so elder, I might as well be gen-x. And until recently it had been years since I carried cash.
Same. If I have cash it's because I needed it for something specific and haven't managed to get rid of the change.
I've started carrying it more recently during times when money is tight. Helps me keep from overspending.
Totally get that. I did exactly that for years until I came up with a (slightly convoluted) system that works for me.
Same
A lotta zoomers have phone cases with their id and stuff in them, which might be the alternative? Personally I never trusted myself to not lose my phone and be really fucked.
I agree with your last statement, but that's still a wallet. It's just a phone case wallet, or MagSafe wallet in some cases (which feels even scarier IMO, I don't trust magnets that much)
Elder. Only carry cash when I really need it.
