No, this isn't a rant about how I'd like to spend several hundred thousand dollars (daily!) on a car. Instead, I'm going to discuss the humble wallet

You actually have to watch out for the same sort of thing with purses! After all, most of them are designed to go over a single shoulder and they tend to have roomy depths for lots of stuff to weigh you down. It would be easy to carry a heavy load on one side of your body for years, getting your spine out of whack, simply by carrying the same single-shoulder bag every day. That's why backpacks (and perhaps messenger bags) make a bit more sense.
You can always rotate the items you use to alter the way you carry the load from day to day. Or am I just using this to justify my large collection of bags and shoes? After all, you can put the same strain on your feet by wearing non-supporting shoes day in and day out.
Actually, that particular purse (the one I use) is a cross-body design (like a messenger bag), which I imagine reduces that sort of stress. Plus it has a belt-loop so you could (in theory) distribute the load even more evenly. :)
My mom's spine actually twisted around backwards in someplaces. This wasn't entirely due to her purse, but it was considered a major contributing factor. She replaced the old purse, with one of the less pretty, but far more healthy ones that's designed to reduce that kind of strain.
