I have been using a wallet my whole life, but ive always loved money clips. How many here use money clips over wallets? What are the disadvantages or advantages to money clips?
 
I prefer the wallet. Mostly before it is just better for carrier my plastic cards. Plus it is not like I ever have that much money on me. Hell on a good day I have 20 bucks cash.

More often than not I have less than 10 bucks cash on me. I mostly pay with my credit card for everything.
 
I use one of those small front pocket wallets with built in money clip. Just enough to carry a few cards, license and my cash. Anything bigger, it's a purse. ;)

I guess that's what I use... not a money clip. This is what I have...

The clip is magnetic.
 
I don't understand the point of a money clip. It's just a fashion accessory, and doesn't really carry cash in a beneficial way. There are so many different wallets to choose from, and each with its own carrying capacity. ;)

I own 2 wallets -- a big wallet, and a thin one to wear with some trousers and jeans.

I have the perfect regular-sized wallet, but I'm looking for a better thin wallet. I want one with a see-through card holder that can hold some coins. ;)

Me too. Wallets are waaay too huge and bulky for my taste. In fact I carry a money clip/wallet thing and i wish it were even smaller. Aside from any cash I carry, it holds... (let's see...) Driver's license, bank card, blockbuster card, key card for work, casino card. Not a whole lot, but I would still like to only have to carry the cash. The smaller the better in my opinion.
 
I've never seen anyone use a money clip, they sound a little pointless? Maybe I'm missing the point somewhat.
 
I use a wallet. Don't really carry much cash with me as I prefer to use cards. Especially since I get cash back when using my check card. What a deal cash back and no interest since it draws from my checking account.

Though if I joined the Mafia I would carry a money clip.
 
Wallets are easier, I can get at the bills I want without having to take all the money out.
 
Hmmm I never ventured at the idea of using both? I suppose it would work, both conveniant and inconveniant. Well I tihnk I will try the money clip, which i feel just has some class to it. I love wallets and I just need to change things up and get either a new wallet or a money clip. Well see how it works.
 
Wallet, although finding a new wallet is a tortuous experience for me since I don't wear/buy leather. Right now I have a vinyl wallet, but they tend to fall apart in a few years. I might look into a metal money clip when my current wallet falls apart.
