How old is your wallet?

[Cheerio]

Bought one at Winner's a year and a half ago for $5. It's on its last legs now and I'm looking for a more professional/simple looking, any suggestions?

Only wallet I have ever owned. Got it for Christmas probably 12 years or so ago. A little beat up after all these years. Honestly just haven't thought about replacing it, but I probably should soon.

Goin' on 20+ years now

About 518 days old. LFC wallet I bought at the club shop my first day in Liverpool last year.

A specific thank you to Kybosh for correctly spelling "Costanza." How many cards do you guys carry? I find if you go through your wallet you can eliminate a lot of garbage. Who really needs an HBC rewards card in their wallet?

1.5-3.0 years, somewhere in that range. (I think)

The longest I've had the same wallet is about one day.

I never use one. Can't stand them. Can't function with one.

People stopped trying to give me one as gifts about a decade ago.

I recently upgraded to a Nixon wallet that only has room for 3 cards and an ID. I carry my debit, credit, and work credit cards plus my ID and I haven't found the need to have anything else with me.

I have my Air Miles and Costco (and a couple others) cards in my car at all times. Air Miles is mostly just for buying gas so it's easy to grab when I'm paying at the pump. I have my Air Miles and Safeway Club Card numbers typed into my phone in case I forget to bring the actual card in.

My old wallet wasn't quite Constanza worthy but I had most of my plastic cards in it. I find it way better with the thin wallet now.

Proabably 20 years. Good old leather.

Now...how long ago did the condom in your wallet expire?

You can get a nice simple leather Swiss Gear wallet for pretty cheap at the Bay. Like so:

I really don't know. It is definitely more than 5 years old, maybe up to 10 years old. I stopped using it because either I thought it was old or somebody bought me a new wallet. I used the new wallet for a year or two but I hated it. Found my old (and once again current) wallet and decided that nothing was wrong with it so I switched back to it. It looks well used, but isn't falling apart. I'm definitely going to keep it as long as I can.

Mine is about 10 years old now and still going strong.

I bought it on a High School trip to Europe, we were in Florence and I wanted it but buddy wanted way too much for it. Whilst haggling I realized that I was late as hell for our tour of the Uffizi gallery and that my teacher was going to kill me so I put it back because I knew I had to go, and ran for it.

Buddy chased after me across the piazza and gave it to me for what I was willing to pay for it. Sweet deal. Hand stitched lamb skin wallet and its doing me fine to this day.

I have the exact same wallet that flamesrule14 posted. It is well over 20 years old. I stopped using it at some point in high school after a few years of use. My son expressed a desire to have a wallet, so I gave it to him.

I had the same wallet from 1995-2007 but I got mugged in Belgium. Now I've had the same one since 2007.

I can't believe some people have wallets for so long.. I replace mine once a year at the most! Imagine all the swass that's absorbed into your wallets. Disgusting

Yeah, I have an older version of the Cypress. If you get on their email list they send out a notice when a new batch is coming.

LOL at people using wallets. Card holders that hold 6 cards. soooo thin.

^ Your wallet seems similar to mine. I'm always trying to limit the number of cards I carry, but it is pretty tough. Leaving some cards in the car is perhaps an option, but I have two cars and drive each at different times and for different reasons.

Places like MEC, Safeway, etc. let you use your phone number, but I haven't found a way to keep Air Miles, Costco, Sobeys, and other membership cards out of my wallet. AMA is a must, obviously.
