I use my debit card too mostly .. but when I do carry cash it is in my pocket. When I was about 14 my uncle gave me $20 .. so of course I got it broken up into 5s & singes .. and someone stole my wallet.. I was crushed.. LOL.. I can laugh about it now but back then ... From that time on I always carried whatever cash I was carrying in my pocket.
When I'm not going out, I keep all my money in a wallet. When I'm going out, I take around $30 (if I have that) and roll it up (think Goodfellas / cocaine roll) and put it in my front pocket.
A very thin leather cardholder. It can hold about 4 plastic cards max, + a couple bills of cash. Keep it in my front right pocket. Or a breast pocket of a coat. It's very low key and low profile. I don't see why ppl put wallets in their back pockets. Makes me think of the seinfeld episode where they were sitting crooked. Also seems easier for it to get taken from you.
Ive never had my wallet stolen from my back pocket, and unless a master pickpocket runs into me aint no one reaching into my ass pocket without me knowing it.
I carry it in it's plastic form and generally carry $20 or less in folding money.

Easiest pick going. Next time you're jostled or bumped into when you're getting on/off a crowded train or bus, check your back pocket. It can be gone before you've felt a thing.Ive never had my wallet stolen from my back pocket, and unless a master pickpocket runs into me aint no one reaching into my ass pocket without me knowing it.
