Nowadays with ApplePay, Google Pay, and the digitization of the wallet, some might consider their smartphone to be the most important object in their pocket or bag. However, not all merchants are ready to go all digital and still require payment with physical cards or cash. Thus, the analog wallet remains the king of pocket priority. 

But if you’re like me, your wallet holds more than just cards and cash. It’s become a hoarding space packed with superfluous junk. A year ago I decided to go through my wallet and scan all the receipts, business cards, and other unnecessary things and discard them. Then, I bought a compact Every Day Carry (EDC) wallet to carry only what I need: my credit cards, I.D., and Cash.
