How to Pick the best wallet for your needs?

Answer 1

If you have a driver’s license, credit cards and insurance cards, you most likely have a wallet to carry them all. There are as many styles of wallets as there are reasons to have a wallet. If it is time for a new one, put some thought into how you use your wallet and what features you need.

Do you carry a lot of credit cards? Many wallets only hold 4 credit cards. If you have more than 4, then you need to find a wallet that has enough slots for your needs. It is difficult to put more than one credit card per slot, as they are not designed for that. If you do put two in one slot, it is difficult to get one out when you need it.

Do you need to carry your checkbook with you? If so, they you should look at the checkbook style wallets. Not only does it hold your bills, coins and credit cards, it holds your checkbook. It is a great way to keep your money items organized.

Do you participate in sports or do you jog daily? If so, you should carry a wallet with your identification and a few dollars of emergency money. In that case, you can get a sports wallet. These wallets are made out of very light weight material and come with a wrist strap. That way, you have what you need, but it won't be in your way. Not all running clothes have pockets, so a wrist strap wallet is a great one to have.

Do you need a wallet with an attached coin purse? Many people like to carry a separate coin purse. If you rather have the type of wallet that has a built in coin purse, then you still have a decision to make. There are zipper coin sections or clasp closures. It all depends on which you are used to or which you prefer. The zipper may be more secure, but it takes a little longer to get it open. The wallets with clasp closure coins sections sometime open by themselves and dump coins in the bottom of your purse.
