Have you ever lost your real wallet, or had money stolen?
It appears that the money thing can be highly unintuitive
even for nontechnical people.

Seriously, you can print out wallets, on paper.

Your wallet never has to be online, you can use external
tools (e.g. blockchain.info) to check its state.

If you use actual data wallets, encrypt them, back them up
on a number of data media, store them in a safe place.

You wouldn't carry 100 kUSD in your wallet on your person
all the time, would you?
