Life Hacks

Lots of men carry a wallet in their back pocket.

This is a big mistake! The result is back and hip problems from sitting on it all of the time.

Try carrying this essential item in a front pocket. You always have it handy, it's harder for a thief to pick from your pocket, and your back and hips will thank you.

Here is one more little wallet related hack. Take everything out of your wallet - credit cards, driver's license, and debit card, place them on a copier and make a copy.

Flip these items to the other side and copy them again.

Take this paper and store in a safe and secure place at home. Now, if your wallet is lost or stolen, you have a copy of everything in it including numbers for calling and canceling credit and debit cards.

Less back trouble and peace of mind.

Above left a typical wallet.

Above right - my wallet once I learned this good advice several years ago.

It is a single wallet - not a bi-fold or tri-fold. It carries what I absolutely need and that's all. It sits comfortably in my front pocket every day.
