Here’s how I (a guy) manage. When I go out of the house, I am usually carrying the following:
cell phone
sun glasses
reading glasses in case
wallet
key chain (w/blinker, four keys, p-38, and four retail membership cards)
That’s a lot to stuff in your pockets. I wear cargo pants a lot. I never carry change. If I get change, it goes into the little compartment in my dash. I can’t stand sitting on a wallet. I read once that it causes back problems, and I believe that. When I get into my van, the wallet goes into the floor or cup holder, as does the cell phone, since it would be inaccessible in my pocket with the seatbelt across it. That means I have to remember to gather my stuff when I get out of the van.
Ditch the purse if you like, but don’t expect the alternative to be ideal.
