Millenials also raise the roof when in the club.
The other day I saw a guy struggle for 2+ mins trying to scan his membership card on his phone to activate a gas pump. Meanwhile cars were lining up behind him, he was super flustered and eventually he had to pull around to the back of the line to try again. Have fun with your phone apps but that shit ain’t for me, I’ll just be an old dude carrying my cards around
Where do you keep your drivers license or ID?
I’ve seen people shove it into their pocket raw. Fucking terrifying way to live.
Fucking savages
I store them physically in my phone, more specific in my Spigen Slim Armor CS phone case
That’s just a wallet glued to your phone though.
Aww man, never seen it as one but you are right
You have a wallet.
Up my ass like an uncivilized ogre.
In my car, and I only take it inside when I know I’m going to need it.
I am someone who loses things. I don’t even have keys at this point. I have a pin pad lock my door.
The less things I carry, the less things I lose.
ADHD is a bitch
On my phone like a civilized person.
So if you get pulled over, you’ll give your unlocked phone to a cop?
Oh, honey…
(Not necessarily “you,” rather anyone who keeps their ID in their phone. Unless you mean a phone case that has an ID slot?)
I feel the same, but I do think a lot of those id programs will work on the lock screen.
Still wouldn’t hand a cop my phone.
It’s not unlocked. It’s tap to scan just like a credit card. Though there’s no law here that you need to carry a license anyway. There isn’t most places as far as I know, but I do carry a physical id when going out of state.
That’s better, but I still don’t want to risk giving my phone to a cop.
Well, I’m a millennial and a few days ago I saw a guy paying for his lunch with his watch. Needless to say, I was horrified
I would like to use my watch for payments more, but a lot of PoS devices here still work only with card NFC, not GooglePay etc. NFC.
I cut a thin piece of leather, folded it, and sewed up 2 of the sides. It holds my license, credit card, Costco card, and a folded up $20. Pretty much unnoticeable in my pocket
I also had a homemade wallet for many years
I’m making one at the minute.
I’m in my 50s and don’t have a wallet. Only my phone. I can conjure up a wallet if I have to, but it’s not a normal thing for me. My watch is analog. License is on the My Colorado app.
your age has been updated to 23, sorry, family gatherings might get awkward
Pretty sure that would be the least awkward part of my family gatherings.
What would be the most awkward?
The orgy.
I have a wallet, it usually stays at home or in my bag. Can’t remember the last time I needed something from it (although that may be my memory failing)
What do you do on those rare occasions you require several hundred dollars to buy cocaine?
Filthy, dirty cash goes in its pocketses.
Someone actually gave me cash the other day and I carried it around intending to spend it, but kept forgetting, so eventually just deposited it. It felt like a weird, awkward burden.
Same. I have a little card thing for when I’m traveling out of state but that’s the only time I carry anything but a phone.
Political?
I can’t wait to get rid of my small satchel bag, currently I just have a small leather coin purse that can fit folded bills into for an small stack of cash but I need to keep my passport on me to often as a foreigner with a residency.
I gave up the wallet for a bit and then brought it back. Didn’t like the card sleeves alone
Card sleeves are just a subset of wallets.
I’m a millennial. I dont carry a wallet but I have a wallet style phone case where I keep my cash and cards. Is that what they mean or does my phone wallet count?
You have a wallet large enough to fit a phone in it, i say that definitely counts
Its more like a phone that carries all my wallet things
what about a phone big enough to hold a wallet?
A combination, phwallet, or wallphone?
It’s not a phwallet unless it comes from the area of Phuket, otherwise it’s just a wallphone.
they removed the headphone jack to “save space”… i’d prefer a phone big enough to hold a wallet that they then fill with batteries and then still not carry a wallet
My phone wouldn’t just be big enough to have a headphone jack, it would be big enough to fit the headphones
a head-phone, if you will
To me it seems like it’s up to what you prioritize. If you prioritize convenience, nothing can beat one thing to keep track of – especially if it’s the one thing you spend all your time on (easy to track, and less likely to lose because you spend too much time on it).
I’m from that small slice between proper millennial and gen Z (94-98), where we experienced the social media and smart technology boom during our teenage years. I directly experienced the rapid shifts and pressure to use all the trendiest social medias, smart appliances and the accompanying apps, cheap streaming services, easy shopping, every device using the same usb standard, dynamic smartphone designs, touch payment etc. During that time and uni, I would’ve jumped at the chance to coalesce everything onto one device, but couldn’t because the infrastructure wasn’t there. We were technologically “naive”, thinking technology would only become increasingly more convenient without having any trade-offs.
But now, we are all aware of the negative consequences, politics, and burdens of being reliant on these services and infrastructure from the technological monopolies. Half the conversations with my friends of this age group end up being about what trade-offs we’re willing to put up with for convenience while losing privacy, security, and autonomy. Gen Z grew up with this infrastructure in place and are readily entrapped in it (to no fault of their own). Of course they’re going to notice a wallet when they use a more convenient option, because the alternative isn’t something they personally experienced nor needed.
Unfortunately, this leaves them vulnerable to the whims of the private companies who control the infrastructure and social media – surcharges on touch payments, increasing costs of streaming, not owning media (games, movies), subscriptions everywhere, social media and smartphone addiction. We’re seeing a trend of people choosing away from the convenient option towards privacy and autonomy. . Unless it’s an open standard and I have a readily available alternative, I don’t use it on my smartphone – hence the wallet.
I’m late GenX, i have a wallet lying around, but it doesn’t leave home if it isn’t specifically needed. Most of the time my phone is enough.
I don’t carry a wallet since it was stolen last year.
i’m a millennial and i carry neither a wallet nor keys
digital ID, apple pay, and codes instead of keys
i lose cards and keys basically monthly if they’re on me. before technology i literally tied things to my bags and clothes. they still sometimes got lost… or i locked myself out (sometimes a weekly occurrence)
Gen z has higher income and higher rates of home ownership even adjusted for age and inflation.
This is needless class division.
me when I go online and spread disinformation
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
They are outpacing millennials, many of whom also struggled to buy at the same age. They’re less likely to use help from parents and far more likely to be single buyers, especially women.
More Gen Zers are managing to buy a home : NPR https://share.google/UIko2M0BaC1EiOYOP
Can you fix your link?
https://theintelligence.com/40979/stop-google-changing-links-android/
No. It works fine.
I’m not clicking your tracking link pal. You want to prove your point, link the actual NPR article, not Google’s analytics bullshit.
edit: I found an NPR article about gen z homeowners.
here’s an actual fucking link instead of US riddled spyware: https://www.npr.org/2026/05/15/nx-s1-5791499/gen-z-homeownership-increase
if you think 4% of the market being gen z is “higher income and higher rates of home ownership even adjusted for age and inflation” when the article clearly states that these people were only able to afford these houses based on luck youre insane. The first guy they talk about: “including for one year while he lived rent free with his parents.”, then later, a statistic “16% of Gen Z buyers did get a gift or loan from parents”
this does not back up your argument in any capacity.
If this is the wrong article, then maybe you should look into what causes class division, and then promptly consider your choice to allow google to spy on you every waking day of your life.
