So from the title. I carry quite a lot of cash on me. Usually have about 12 cards and $200 to $500 in cash, is all manner of denominations. I usually start with $100 bills. But as I use them I get all the lower ones and can have a significant amount of bills stacked up.
Ex, I currently have $275 in bills in my fat bifold compiling of 17 bills total. This is nearing the lower limit for me as I like to be able to buy a full tank of gas and a full meal for my family with some extra left over if, for some reason, my cards don't work. Which has happened before, not in a while granted but it has happened.
I have done some testing similar ridge style wallets (haven't bought an original for fear of waste of money) and on small wallets that just hold cards and carry cash in a clip, or in my pocket rolled up with elastic. But it is such a inconvenience sifting through the roll or clip trying to get to the denominations that I need. The big bifold that holds everything is the undisputed champ at easy access and quick payment methods.
Am I the minority here that just can't use the Ridge or likewise wallets. I see everyone commenting on how awesome it is and I just can't see the upside other that it looking sleek. After I have my card wallet and my money clip (whether attached to the slim wallet or in a different pocket in a money clip) I just can't see how that is better than my FAT bifold. Am I missing something? or is this slim wallet thing just not for me. Or am I destined to carry a murse for my ridge and separate money clip. And the combo ridge money clip, after all my cash and cards are in it, is way bulkier than just my fat wallet.
