What's In YOUR Wallet?
After a good natured ribbing with Mrs. O'Rights, about all of the crap that she carries around with her, she inquired as to the crap that I carry with me. A quick inspection of my wallet revealed the following;
My driver's license My American Legion membership card Two debit cards, from both my personal and the joint accounts A partialy used Walmart gift card with an unknown balance Health Insurance card Dental Insurance card Vision Insurance card Red Cross blood donors card Omaha Public Library card AutoZone Rewards card An expired Health Insurance card...trash...err...shred box Blockbuster Rewards card Henry Doorly Zoo membership card Baker's Plus (grocery store) shopper's card A twenty, a ten and two singles Fishing license 4 store receipts...trash...err...recycling bag And two business cards...trash...err recycling bag So...nothing overly extraneous. What about you? What are carrying around in your wallet?

Ditched the wallet and got a small purse. In that I carry my atm card, drivers license, keys and sometimes cash. I hate caring around a lot of crap.

I don't have a wallet. I put three cards into my back pocket: my driver's license, my student ID, and my debit card. I carry my keys and any cash in my front pockets.
I don't like purses; they're too easily lost.

I have a beaten-up brown lambskin Perry Ellis trifold wallet that looks remarkably like my husband's.
But mine is filled with more crap: - Student ID - Library card for local branch community library - Ohio Driver License - California Organ Donor card - Pet Retreat business card - Medical insurance card - Check Card - Credit Card - Slip of paper with library book titles and call numbers such as PQ2469.E7 - 3 keychain-sized rewards cards for grocery stores

But really I was looking more at the various money cards and your employment ID card. Maybe the money cards aren't so important cause you could call up the bank as soon as you notice you don't have it but your ID employment card is worth something if you ask me.

What you need to understand about this place is that everyone has an Identity Card. You get it at birth. This card has a number on it and you have the number throughout your life. You need this card to access services. You need this card to get through security. You need this card on a daily basis.
Canadian that I am, this screams of an invasion of privacy. Here, it is just the way things are. My employment pass is the immigrant's version of the Identity Card. I need to show it from time to time (on average once a week for something or other). It's easier to carry it with me than it is guess when I should. The other bits of plastic are about the same. I suppose I could lighten the load by getting rid of the Dental Card, but I am due to visit the dentist so I need it. The Visa is a back up for when vendors don't take Amex.

I have a "pocketbook" - not exactly a wallet but close:
Driver's license Military ID 2 school IDs - one for the community college and one for the university Debit card Credit card Invalid health and dental insurance cards - the new ones haven't arrived yet Various store membership/rewards cards A laundromat card - undoubtedly will never be used again A card for the LDS church genealogical library A county library card A card with my son's picture and pertinent info - for emergencies A picture of my son A British 5 pound note 2 Disneyland ticket stubs from different vacations Various coins which, at a glance, would equal about a dollar Several receipts which have since been thrown away
