Do you use paperclips? Well...

Don't be like those schmucks that use plain-old ones, you're a classy office worker, therefore you need a Prada paperclip. You know, to impress the boss, or otherwise throw good money away.

Hey, now.  It's a money clip.

I'm still using a money clip I beat together one afternoon in high school.  A hunk of copper, cut into a rectangle, round the corners, wrap around a dowel for the main bend, counter-bend the other end a bit so it's easier to put money in.  It's got a beautiful patina almost 20 years later and I see zero need to replace it.

I guess I'm not rich enough for this. I don't even remember the last time I handled cash that I could clip this to.

I normally carry at least $100 on me, usually more. Lots of cash only places out near me, or places with flakey internet connections so CC processing is down on occasion.

I like to keep mine in the fridge. Nothing like cold, hard cash.

Carrying physical money around is weird.

Pfft, no wonder you folks on this forum are all trying to quit your jobs, if you can't value simple work pleasures such as having a $185 paper clip with you in meetings...
