For me it's

Keys
Cash Cards
20/30 euro in cash
Vape stick (was fags)
Phone

Keys, wallet with or without cash, phone.

Also I wear clothing.

Amirani

Add in mask these days.

EmmetSpiceland

Pants.

No need for cash these days especially when it's so much easier with phone.
Just hardly ever a need for cash or a bank card.

I often leave wallet at home.

Also who says "cash cards"?

I did.

I'd have credit, debit cards, one for all vouchers etc in the wallet.

All just ways of accessing funds..

Aside from the common (keys, wallet, phone and mask), I always have my AirPods, a few guitar plectrums, and a Euro coin for the shopping trolley in my pocket.

It won't be long when all you'll need is your smartphone and mask obviously.

You'll soon be able to start the car from your handset, there already smart locks on hall doors.

Phone, keys, wallet, fags, lighter, mask, clothes..

Wireless ear pods.... in case I need to drop into Tesco while out. Let’s me catchup on my Spotify playlists!

Travel toothbrush/tooth paste and or mints/chewing gum. In case the opportunity of kissing presents itself...

Damn Bingo ! .. your timing is way off for condoms

By default, wallet (with ID'S and credit cards), keys (car and house), phone, sidearm, face mask. Not infrequently iPad.

I figure that when traveling abroad, as long as I have my wallet and passport, any problems I encounter can be sorted out. A phone helps greatly in that situation.

There is a need for cash if you want to make a purchase that requires cash.

Extra magazine in case you run into Johnny Ringo at the deli?

LOL wtf would you need to constantly be armed for. Ridiculous that you feel its necessary. Unless you're living down in Southern Yemen.

I have a handbag so it’s just in there all the time just in case rather than taking it in and out

What do you call a snail gone commando?

Did you ever run out of the house without a penny or a gun or a phone or a watch when you were small?


You should try it now that you're big.

Feckin hell, you’re getting awful worked up about what people bring with them when they go out. It’s only a bit of fun.

But I have so many cash transactions to carry out in the year 2021.

A strange one but having wet wipes in the car is a must. If you have to use a restroom in a shop or bar it is always good to really clean your ass with a few wet wipes. Public bathrooms can be a horror show so it is good to make sure you don't smell of poo afterwards.
A can of deodorant is also good idea

Don't leave home without it.

When I was growing up that was the catchphrase.

I find that happening less and less and can't remember the last time I needed cash and I would actually avoid a business that insists on cash.

Once you get used to the convenience of using your watch or phone for paying for things then there's just no going back.

Cash , phone , keys , inhalers ,penknife ....

I really dont see any convenience factor. But I do like the privacy factor of paying cash


I always bring a wad of cash because I hate this cashless society nonsense they're trying to foist upon us.

But it's not cashless society nonsense, it's just more convenient all round.
Convenience as in you don't need to remember to carry cash that you can lose or have stolen.
Speed, nowadays paying with phones is faster than paying cash.

You can also track payments easier as you can see them on your device.

Less open to fraud too as retailer does not get your card details.

Privacy seems to be concerns of some tin foil hat people but I really don't care if I bank see where I shopped or when and they don't see what you bought either.
Often wonder if this argument is presented by people who gamble, have affairs etc.

Yup. And then it it gets broken/lost/stolen.And yer fukked. What's wrong with keys/cash/ paper tickets, anyway Sure, you can lose each of those things, but unlikely to lose them all at once. Does no one remember the saying "Don't put all your eggs in one basket"?

It's a different conversation so apologies for taking things off topic but it's not the data that they have which worries some people, it's the information which can be inferred from it.

It's relatively common now for your ads online to appear as though they predict the future. Women who get presented with baby clothes/apparatus in ads which seemed a bit bizarre but it turns out they're actually pregnant and Amazon knew before them.

This is all pretty innocent, who cares if it generates better ad revenue for companies and it has very little real world impact. However, as an example, the exact same principles could be used as a means to increase your health insurance premiums as by looking at data from your phone, Apple can see information that even you aren't aware of. Person A has certain consumption + Googling habits + they exercise this amount.....etc. this follows a particular trend, 10% of whom have had a diagnosis of 'X' so many years later.
Hey VHI, we'll sell you some info that lets you minimise your risks and charge BillyJoe Bobson an extra few hundred per annum.

It's not conspiracy theory stuff, it's actually pretty cool and run of the mill data science and it's uses go far beyond the mundane example I gave. I have no problem with it, I work in a related field so I'm interested in it but I can see how/why people don't like it and personally I limit my interactions a little bit as some things make me uncomfortable.

Graces7

In the days when I used to leave home occasionally - apart from a walk - my purse on a long strap which I hung round my neck so I would not lose it.

I did once get 5 miles down the road without it.. Had to turn back..

I should I suppose take my phone when I go walks,

Manic Moran

Despite the prevalence of plastic, phone-pay, etc, I still like to carry a couple of twenties around with me just in case I encounter some situation where having cash is preferable. If splitting lunch, easier to hand over a 20 than fiddle with zelle, for example.

Not usually. I do have one pair of jeans into which a spare mag will fit, but I tend not to wear those much.

OL wtf would you need to constantly be armed for. Ridiculous that you feel its necessary.

It's no more necessary than the multi-tool I always wear. Can I live without it? Sure. Does it cost me anything to have it along? Nope. Is it handy to have if I need it? Definitely. Where's the downside?

"OMG someone might be trying to call me. I can't check out the latest Nikki Minaj vid. I don't have my earphones or my 9 mil."

Oh, I'm sure we'll survive. I spent half this month working in a place where cellphones and internet access are prohibited, for example. Just because we can exist in isolation doesn't mean we have to prove it. If for no other reason than safety, having a 'phone around to call for help in case of trouble is probably worth not being able to say "I can prove I can be one with myself".
