Wallets Or Man Bags

Does your back hurt? we know mine does. Do you have bad attitude? Most us do. Well, the men could be the reason related to your wallet. A man's wallet can add up to an inch of extra padding on one side of the body. That extra inch makes your entire body uneven when you're sitting there to cause your back to be misleading. Back pain often can be limited or destroyed by adjusting the way you sit. I went about a month without our wallet in our back pocket and noticed a significant amount of lower back pain the pressure decreases. So much that we refuse to carry a wallet in our back pocket. So what's a man to do? Buy a handbag or messenger bag? Good for most of us, the answer is no, but why not? Why it has become such a stigma for a man to carry a bag?

We know what you're saying right now, I'm not carrying a handbag. I am not saying that men should start carrying handbags. I know I would not, but what we are saying is that there should be some type of alternatives.

We've tried money clips, but let's face it, they are too bulky. We have tried to empty unnecessary items but most items that men wear are all important. Credit cards, cash, money, ID, membership card, all these elements we need and use on a daily basis, so there is little chance that men can empty their wallets much. We need to get rid of that most causes so much pain, but how?

One alternative that we have found is messenger bag or laptop bag. This Messenger Bag / Laptop bag is cool for the young urban Dweller, who hangs out at the cafe. The bag is not only your wallet but also other cool items you never thought to carry around (like Hand Sanitizer to keep you from swine flu or chap stick - just in case you get a date at the cafe). However, there are disadvantages of this solution:

1) You do not carry your laptop with you everywhere. (Unless you're a true geek)

2) They do not make you look cool when you are over 30 years. (Sorry to break it to you)

3) Thousands of laptops are stolen each year, so if you purses in it, it's gone too.

Another alternative is a money belt / Fanny pack. Do I even need to go there? I think they used to be pretty cool back in the 80s, but if you use one of these around every day, you are either a body builder or over 70 years. For most of us fanny packs are either a NO NO or at least only for travel.

So what is our solution, you ask? Well here it is! There is not a shame, we can say is that from personal experience, remove it from your back pocket. I went about a month without our wallet in our back pocket and noticed a significant amount of lower back pain the pressure decreases.We also noticed that we do not spend as much (maybe because we did not have a purse full of shit to spend), we now only have a little bit of cash, a credit card and membership card which we will use this day. We empty our pockets every night, and more or less budget our time and money in this way. By selecting and consolidating the things I will need every day we reduced our wallet size in half. I put the rest of our membership cards in our glove compartment of our car, so they are within reach if necessary. Generally, only carry what you really need every day and you will notice a clear difference in your posture and back pain.
