NFT: Which would you rather lose: Your Phone or your Wallet?

Grey Pilgrim : 7/31/2024 8:53 am
I'd have to go with my Phone.

And You?

Phone.
Wallet

I can use my phone. I never carry cash and i can use my phone to freeze my cards till i get new ones. Pluse i have a backup cc in my safe at hone for emergencies.
Replacing a license is a horrific experience

which probably is the deciding factor on this one. I don’t want to go buy a new phone, but I can do that more easily than replacing a license and all the phone calls to freeze and/or replace my credit cards, pistol permit, etc is a nightmare.
quick OP question

Are we defining lose as merely misplace or have stolen?
I am with Dicky Barrett

on this one: "Hope I Never Lose my Wallet" - great song from a great band.

Not much better than seeing these guys play this song at the Middle East in Cambridge during their annual Hometown Throwdown.

thanks for asking this question, I know its not the answer you were looking for but it brings back good memories and its the first thing I thought of when I saw your question.


Hope I Never Lose My Wallet - ( New Window )
which brings us to the age old question by HH. Bosco or Nestles Quick?

the meaning of the song is there are a lot worse things to lose than your wallet. such as losing yourself, your mind, and who you are. such a fun song, but it's not meant literally and maybe that's a good answer to your question.

you can lose either, and for that matter all the material things in your life, but with perspective you will still have everything.

everything on your phone should be backed up and can restored instantly on another device.

sorry question was rather lose so my answer was backwards.

Lose the phone keep the wallet
Wallet  
Spider43 : 7/31/2024 9:36 am : link
I only keep cards in it. I keep my cash separate. Your phone has EVERYTHING these days! Though with the cloud...
I have neither

Gary, your latest questions come with assumptions that you seem to believe apply to everyone.

Which is why when you lose your phone you can quickly restore everything when buying a new one.
And disregard, didn’t see your follow up

Lost. Not stolen.
My phone is my wallet  
Go Terps : 7/31/2024 1:16 pm : link
I carry my license in my phone case and use Google pay for everything. If I had to go back to a wallet I'd feel like this guy.



At this point I'd rather someone style my car than phone.
Wallet? What wallet?  
Hammer : 7/31/2024 5:18 pm : link
I haven't carried a wallet in years.

Like someone before me stated, my phone case is my wallet.
Phone  
Ron from Ninerland : 7/31/2024 5:29 pm : link
Anything important is backed up and can easily be restored. The thief, unless he's super sophisticated can't access anything.

Losing a wallet means losing your DL and other government ID which are a massive POA to replace. You need to cancel and replace CC's even if you use Apple Pay for everything and in my case, I need to replace senior citizen transit passes. And no, not all Transit passes can go into an App on the phone.
As long as I don't lose...
