No it will not work as an everyday wallet unless you like to fold all your bills in half or thirds and shove in a pocket. There is no way to carry the bills in the "expected" pocket which has been modified to 1/2 the expected length for some of the features. A major let down as I believed the above statement that it would work as an every day wallet when I bought it. Folding the bills in half doubles the thickness and adds bulk, plus less easy to pull out just the bills you need.
