Coldcard Q users - are you able to set up different wallets on the same device?  Meaning, can I set BTC aside for different purposes using the same hard- wallet?  Doesn’t have to have separate paraphrases

Yes, you can use different Bitcoin accounts by changing the account number in the derivation paths.

Not only that, you can have more than one wallet through the Temporary Seed (Ephemeral Seed), where users can store a temporary Seed. You must enable the Seed Vault feature to use it.

You can also access different wallets derived from your original seed through passsphrases (each passphrase accesses a specific wallet).

I recommend reading all the mentioned resources to use safely, dramatically decreasing the chances of operational errors.
