about 5 years already. It's a Coach Wallet i got for my bday from an ex. Man, they're built to last, and the older they get the better they look.

I've got 3 wallets that have lasted more than 10 years... I hate carrying a wallet, so it stays in the sock drawer. Then some relative sees that I don't carry one, gets me one for xmas, and that joins the others in the sock drawer, and eliminates another relative from the wallet gift giving club.

Mine hasn't lasted very long but I like the little little tiny wallets that don't fold.. just have 2-3 pockets for credit cards and a place for your ID.

9 years, had it ever since 6th grade. That's when my dad said I should probably start learning to be responsible for my own money, so he gave me the wallet and a $5 bill. The five bucks is long gone, but still got the wallet

btw, who's got a bi-fold and who's got a tri-fold? I don't like the bulge of a big wallet so I've stuck with my slim bi-fold, but just about every person i know's got a tri. isn't it uncomfortable to sit all crooked?

How long has your wallet lasted you?

Wallets don't last for me. That's coz where I live all transactions are made in cash thus my wallet is always rather fat. It also has about half a kg of big heavy coins in it. I open it up and close many many times a day. A good thing, though, coz that makes me think of what I pay for and whether I should do that.
So to speak, it's dirty, worn out and I need a new one real soon. However, most wallets I seen on sale go for about $45 and I'd like to find a cheaper one.

Mine is about 9 years old. I've been meaning to replace it for the last 3 years, but so far all I have seen is expensive crappy wallets

Mines a flipfold, where the drivers license area flips out so you don't have to show the cashier your entire history nor take your license out and hand it to them. They are nearly impossible to find

I have a tri-fold and it gets annoying. Recently I just carry it in my front pocket.

About 2-3 years now, Christmas present from my sister. Otherwise I'd still be using my old old one that's at least 7 years old. My current one has survived a lot.

And I don't keep it in my back pocket.. right front.

I have had mine around ten to eleven years but have been looking for a new one for about four or so years now. I am just way too picky about my wallet to casually get a new one without it being just about perfect.

2nd year anniversary of my fake Hugo wallet I got in China. Some parts are tearing but I don't mind. It's a good wallet made from highly skilled children.

I dont change wallets unless someone gives me one as a present, because it would be impolite not to use it. Someone actually made a crack about my current one the last time I went to pay for something, but its in your pocket 99% of the time, so who cares what it old it is?

9 months, duct tape. It replaced my 5 year old leather one. It's bifold because I keep my wallet in my front right. PDA front left, keys in back pocket or cargo pocket. I only carry my cell if I have an inseam pocket I can put it in, or really high, internal cargo pockets like on some of my immitation dockers.
