A mistake can be costly: why you shouldn't hang all your keys on one ring

If you have a habit of keeping all your keys on one bunch, it can cost you dearly in the long run. Keeping all your keys on one ring is not safe.

In addition, there is the danger of losing all the keys at the same time. And a car key in general can get damaged from being in the neighborhood of other metal objects.
