Q: I hate the big fat overstuffed wallets that so many of my colleagues carry. Theyve got old receipts, expired video-store cards, and I dont know what else crammed in there. Im thinking of getting one of those credit-card-only wallets. What do you say?
A: Nothing says ugly American more than the big fat wallet in the back pocket. It not only looks bad, it can also wear out your pants or even throw your back out. (For spinal health, you should carry at least two wallets. Kidding.) Im all for svelte card cases. Theres no reason to be carrying more than two credit cards (in case they dont take AmEx), your government-issued ID, maybe a couple of business cards. They fit in a jacket pocket or side pants pockets and dont blow the flow of your clothes. Any good brand will do.
