My new wallet - Great Starry Wave Mighty Wallet*

My new wallet - Great Starry Wave Mighty Wallet*

Mighty Wallet Review AFTER 6 YEARS

February 03, 2021 by Jacinle in Shopping

After using my Mighty Wallet* on a daily basis for at least 6 years, I think it deserves a thorough review for the internet. My partner gifted me my first Mighty Wallet back in 2014. It is such a great conversation starter and receives compliments all the time. After my first mighty wallet worn down, I purchased my second Mighty Wallet (Picture Day)* in 2015.

Mighty Wallets are folded entirely out of a single sheet of Tyvek, which is more commonly known as the materials for USPS express mail envelopes. Since I’m writing this review during the pandemic, it is worth noting that Tyvek was also used to manufacture PPE against COVID-19. 

I enjoyed using this wallet for the following reasons.

  1. Super Light. With all my essential IDs and credit cards (6 cards in total), it weighs only 45 grams / 1.58 oz. It is also extremely slim and fits in my jeans pocket nicely;

  2. Durable. The wallet has held up impressively well after 6 years. There are no tears or rips. I have dropped it on rainy days several times and it dried nicely. The print did fade quite a bit. This is the only reason I decided to buy a replacement;

  3. Spacious. I tend to collect all my receipts for personal bookkeeping. And it holds a lot of receipts;

  4. The design! There are so many cool and fun designs available. Mine is “Picture Day“, which features a cute ferret senior picture inside!

  5. For the tree huggers out there, Tyvek is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and is recyclable;

  6. The eye-catcher receives compliments all the time. People are always curious about this “paper“ wallet;

  7. Reasonable price. Considering it lasted 6 years, the annual cost is only $3.

I would definitely recommend Mighty Wallet to anyone who finds traditional wallets too corporate, too old-fashioned, or too heavy. If none of the existing designs speaks to you, you can opt for designing your own Mighty Wallet. I customized a Mighty Wallet with pictures of our lovely ferrets for my partner in 2020. The customized wallet takes longer to print and ship, but it certainly is worth the wait. The image printed terrifically well. But make sure you use high resolutions pictures.

Along with the customized Mighty Wallet, I also purchased a Mighty Wristlet. As an avid popcorn enthusiast, the wristlet sparks joy every time I use it. It holds all my essentials when running errands or grocery shopping. The wristlet itself, like the Mighty Wallet, is also extremely lightweight, weighing only 25 gram / 0.88 oz. 

The only disappointment is when the stitches on the bottom of the pouch fell apart. I had to sew it by hand but haven’t had any issues since then.

The ease of sanitation is also why I have been using it exclusively since the pandemic started. I normally give it a good spray with 70% rubbing alcohol then wipe it down.

December 2020 Expenses | 2020年十二月消费总结

January 01, 2021 by Jacinle in Monthly Recap

2021年的第一篇博客!在这个17天的假期不完美地完成了自己定下的写博客小计划,让我觉得格外充实!

或许是因为到年底各个公司市场调研预算没花完,12月我的ProductTube收入创下本年度首高($260)。这个月还有一笔值得庆祝的额外收入就是朋友的婚礼蛋糕啦!虽然我完全低估婚礼蛋糕的成本,基本没挣钱,但依旧是一次很有成就感的体验!还通过这个蛋糕收获了友邻给我画的可爱猫猫图:)

这个月终于蹲到了缺货将近10个月的NIOD Survival 30防晒!这是我2019年最喜欢的防晒,今年依旧如此。再次推荐给正在寻找清爽不泛白的矿物物理防晒的朋友。

年初开始记录总结消费的原因是因为我以为今年独居可以看到相对清楚的个人消费总额,结果疫情来了,silver lining是和家属相处了挺久,坏处是吃饭支出里混淆了一些两人份的。好在数目不高没有实质影响,所以全年总结还是对自己还是挺有参考价值的。我今天就参考2020年的数据更新了EveryDollar里2021年的预算。我目前的记账方法就是用Dave Ramsey的EveryDollar这个app(免费的,更进阶的可以选择YNAB,详情请见友邻的文章)手动记然后每月再把总数记录在自己的excel表格里。今年low buy的后果就是基本记账的频率很低,大多数时候只要买完菜记一下就行。我自己本职工作就与预算相关,所以还挺享受这个过程的 d(`・∀・)b

投资部分,虽然员工福利被削减,但是很幸运总收益基本和前两年持平,这部分我还有许多要学习的,就不写了。

今年最吃惊的数目就是额外的主动收入居然有$5K多!虽然今年百年一遇碰上了政府发钱,但是大头还是前面提到的ProductTube。其实今年本来还有许多side hustle途径我想要尝试,但是由于疫情和身份原因没能实现。在这里还要感谢使用我的referral code薅羊毛的朋友们,让我更有动力把这个小房间经营下去!

以下是2020年博客收入的透明报告。

  • Amazon Affiliate Links: $26.36 payout ($7.20 pending)

  • ShopStyle Collective: $25.20 payout ($7.74 pending)

  • Fetch Rewards: $20 gift card

  • Drop: $45 gift card

  • Chase Referral: $100

  • Amex Referral: $75

  • Brook There: 大概有39个网友用了我的链接,我现在攒了39张$10 off coupons,但是她们网站不能叠加所以根本没用。但是我发现写英文的确对SEO很有帮助(前提是你的目标阅读者使用英文),而且这个品牌本身没什么详细评价。

2020 圣诞节
