Wait my Zoomer buddy definitely has a wallet thicker that George Costanza's. I'm starting to think the internet is just full of lies for making us hate each other.
for making us hate each other.
While it is true that certain old generation is hoarding most of stuff, it is rich class from that generation who hoard it. We as multiple generations need to come up with plan that prevents such iner- and intragenerational separation. And untangle neofeudalism mess current rich class created.
Agreed, it's varying levels of culture war bullshit intended to keep the working class from unifying. The only thing that prevents it is awareness.
I also heard by the socks. Millennials do no-show, but apparently high socks are the style now? Those will never not look super dorky to me, so I guess I’m old now.
Fashion is cyclical
Cynical, too
Millenial here, I never got on board with the no show or low cut or ankle cut or whatever socks, crew socks always. Probably not en vogue with any age group, but I also don't care. They go great with my cargo shorts.
Crew socks.... crunched down ti the height of ankle socks.
I roll them down to make a decorative ankle donut that looks great over my crocs
As a gen z this confuses me, I have a wallet and most people around my age also have one. Sure maybe you could say if they carry cash or not cause I definitely don't carry cash but I still have my wallet cause theres a lot of places that don't accept phone payments.
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.
My phone is at 5%. Fuck yes I have a wallet, I'm not buying a new phone every year. I'm a millennial, by definition I have no money.
My phone is almost 7 years old but in pristine condition. People often praise me of how careful I am when taking care of my belongings.
But the truth is I'm just poor AF. If something broke I don't know how long till I can replace it so I just have to "babying" everything I own.
Unless taking care of it means you've replaced the battery, there's no way it is performing at the same battery life retention which is what he was referring to.
Eh, most Millenials don't have "wallets" like older generations had either.
The giant 3-5 inch thick monstrosities.
Even 20 years ago a lot of Gen X had made the switch to just a flat card hold with a couple 20s slid in.
A Millenial with one of those would say they have a wallet. A Gen Z with the same thing would say they had a card holder.
So I think a big part of this is just language evolving.
I’m a young Millennial and I don’t understand why you wouldn’t carry a wallet. Mine is a slim front pocket one, but I need somewhere for my ID and cards. I despise phone wallets and I use tap-to-pay where possible, but not everywhere accepts them for some reason. I also don’t carry cash because I’m not a Boomer. If I’m buying/selling something off Craigslist or whatever, I just use Venmo.
Who doesn’t use a wallet? Are they referring to those card holders and not calling them wallets?
I haven't used cash in like a decade, but I still need to carry my cards, ID and insurance cards just in case. Where else do people carry things?
Gen Z here.
Do people really not have wallets now? There's so much I can't carry without a wallet, most importantly my ID. Am I expected to just put that loose in my pockets or bag?
And like, sometimes I'm forced to carry cash for one reason or another. I need a space place to put that.
I'm guessing it's just because the majority of my generation isn't old enough to be regularly encountering these issues. I'm 100% certain it'll change as they age the way I was forced to.
Gen z here... Everyone around me has wallets
Tbf I am in Berlin, the cash capital of the world, but still.
Yeah, that is bullshit. For Germany at least.
I can understand moving transactions to digital and not needing to keep cash or a debit card… but what about your ID? If I just stuck that in my pocket by itself I’d be worried about losing it!
American here. Some states have digital IDs now. I'm in California and we have this...
I can drop my physical license and it won't be damaged. I drop my phone, that's like an eggshell these days..
Why would I want my ID on a fragile device, that thieves like to steal no less?
Some countries have digital ID. Some people have cards holders stuck on their phone.
Call me old-fashioned, while it looks practical I do not want to put my phone and cards together in one easy to steal package.
What, kids don’t carry drugs anymore? What is the world coming to
I think it depends on where you are more than your age. I very rarely carry a wallet on me and I am definitely not Gen Z. That being said, where I live, every legitimate (i.e. non laundering/tax dodging) business accepts paying by phone. I can use public transport by scanning my phone, I can prove my ID by showing my phone, I can claim medical benefits by using my phone, and every franchise has it's own loyalty app I can download on my phone.
You kids and your government tracked money. I buy too many things for cash to not have a wallet.
I was a always cash guy, Corona made me a card person, I still refuse to use my phone for it because it's enough that Visa knows everything I buy, no need for Google to know it as well. Also bizarre that we become a no cash society at the same time authoritarian regimes pop up left and right...
Wallet in Fanny pack gang, rise up!
Lol, I have to carry my insurance card, ID, debit and credit as well as purchase and travel cards for work along with when I'm at a work site I need to carry my hotel key.
Where else do I keep the cash I need for food truck stops? Like, the good ones that look like a moving hole in the wall. None of this newfangled hipster food truck with pos devices.
This and saving small businesses the obsurd credit card fees. I use my card for the smallest amounts at chain and big stores. At local business, cash is king.
Well, I definitely fit in the box, got a leather billfold wallet. I'd say I feel like I've got several good reasons to:
this seems totally made up, lol. im at the tail end of gen z and all my friends use wallets. mine may usually be empty, but how else you gon carry your ID and shit? "sorry officer I don't have ID, wallets are for oldheads"
I guess I'm a millennial at 21
To be fair the school I went to was trapped in the mid 90s so I still regularly saw VHS tapes and Windows XP for most of my K through 8th grade years
You're just responsible. There's a lot of physical cards you still need to function as an adult and, quite frankly, half of them come up when you're in a car accident and if your plan for that is "it's on my phone" your plan is bad.
There's no guarantee either your phone or your skull won't be cracked when that happens, if nothing else.
Gen X. Don't use a wallet. Where do I fit in to this theory?
Gen Xers love wallets. Back in the '90s, you had to have a wallet so you could wear a wallet chain.
I guess I'm kicked out of gen z, I got a thicc leather wallet
I have a wallet and I am gen z, this doesn't actually work
