I’ve got my license/ID, AmEx card for most purchases, Power Rewards Visa for places that don’t accept AmEx, and my health insurance card. No cash for me… gotta rack up those rewards points :) Keepin’ it simple!

I can’t believe so many of you took the time to actually type all of this out! Haha… are we nerds, or what? :) Feels kinda sneaky peering inside all of your wallets too, I love it ;)

@Maria Nedeva – Haha, I love that “I am so worth it” account! Nice.
@Andy – Hahaha… I’ve heard you’re pretty too. (and smooth move w/ student card for discounts, I should go and put mine back in too!)
@J. Otwell – Two cells? Bleh… I’d get so confused :)
@Kevin – Haha, better take it out before you get tempted to use it!
@HP – Yeah, I wish EVERYONE excepted Amex — really sucks when you have to switch cards and ruin your game plan.
@LB – Lunch bag counts – fun! :)
@No Debt MBA – I wouldn’t be able to fit all that in a money clip! Which is why I use that instead, it forces me to limit what I take ;)
@Tim – I like how everyone keeps their college ids on them still, haha, y’all are funny.
@Melissa – Cool! And good idea w/ passing the answers over in your own blog – maybe it’ll keep on moving around the blogosphere! (Ooooooh love the picture of everything too, good job!)
@Brian – Haha, damn good idea though… I keep like $8 in ones and a butt ton of change in my car too, mainly for meters, but also for emergencies/random tolls.
@Gina – You’re a good person to know when they’re hungry for candy! :)
@Mercedes – Hey, whatever works ;)
@Stephanie – Haha, you know what I use for that? A ring! My sister got me this AWESOME bottle opener ring and I literally put it to use every single week. Great for party conversations too ;)
@Edward Antrobus – Wow, congrats on losing all that weight though – that’s great! And even awesomer w/ that 10% off deal – it’s a shame you live so far away from me ;)
@Ciawy – It’s okay, you girls are allowed to get away w/ all that girlie stuff :)
@lorakathleen – Stamps! That’s a good one… I always need those randomly, haha…
@Jenna, Adaptu Community Manager – Do you like it when you get carded all the time? Some women do – makes ’em feel so nice and young ;)
@SophieW – Hah! You DO have a lot of craziness in there today! Haha… I love it how you have $197 on you too, as if you’re about to go out to girls weekend or something :)
@Kari – Nice! I haven’t read the rest of the comments yet, but looks like you’re in the top 3 for most items so far ;) Cute you have your SO’s picture in there! I remember when people did that in high school, always wished it continued on…
@WinrWinrChknDinr – Immunization Record? That’s a first! :)
@kody – Wow, you may have the LEAST!
@Kitchen Penguin – AWESOME! Another gold carrying starbucks lover :) That is dope. Also, funny as hell you have a frog dollar in there! haha… can’t say I’ve seen one of those yet in my day.
@Kevin I – Move stubs? Are you collecting them for anything, or just random cuz they stick in there?
@Evan – Booooooooooo no cash!
@Tim G – Perkstreet! Love those guys – everyone I know who uses them swear by ’em. Guess you feel the same? :)
@Laiane – We love wordiness here! The more we can read and see from each other, the better :) Thx for divulging all of your walletness secrets! And I think you’re the only one I know who uses a pre-paid cell phone ;) I did’t know they were still around!
@Ramona – Hah! Very cool… didn’t expect Romanian credit cards to show up on today’s list ;)
@Diane – I still need to try Quickbooks out. Everyone who uses it says it helps, but I just can’t bring myself to use it yet… at least for the business side of things. Don’t think it’s good for personal finances, is it?
@WR – WHAT? $600?? haha… you are asking for it, aren’t you! Man, I’d be scared as hell walking around w/ that much in my pockets… maybe you should have given THAT to Borders instead ;) *tear*
@diane – Yay! Lottery tickets!!! Good work :)
@Jen @ Master the Art of Saving – Oh, that is easy. I like that!
@PD – Good call w/ the flash drive, I really need to start bringing that around too – saves you soooo much time sometimes!
@Mike – Haha… apparently dog lovers carry around 16 cards ;)
@Chet – That is SUCH a damn good idea w/ the iPhone – I need to start doing that. Luckily most things are tied to my cell # which I can remember easily, but the rest I end up losing out cuz I hate carrying around discount cards :( the iPhone apps would def. fix that problem faster.
@Meredith – YAY to USAA! BOooooooo to no cash!
@Slackerjo – Hah! I remember doing that back in the day! Writing numbers of all my friends (and girlfriends, woo!) on a post-it note in my wallet :) In fact, I think I still have them somewhere… for good time’s sake.
@Cassie – Haha, nice. And a fire arms license?? Does that come in handy a lot?? :)
@Skint in the City – A red button and a luggage key, huh? Haha… you sure are an interesting one! And btw, did you ever tell me where you got that dope necklace from? I SOOOOO want one for me! “J. Money” That would be hot :)
@SG – You win the minimalism route!!

1. Business cards for Skint in the City
2. Personal debit card
3. Joint account debit card for household stuff
4. Library card – excellent money saver, except when I need to pay overdue fines.
5. Boots (UK phamacy) loyalty card
6. Loyalty/points card for local petrol station
7. £31.52 cash – I use cash a lot. Easier I find than checking bank statements against receipts.
8. Fifteen Euros in notes from recent holiday.
9. A red button I’ve been meaning to sew back onto a dress for about three months. I may never.
10. A small key for a suitcase – why??
11. Many, many receipts, dating back around four months. Thanks JMoney – you’ve prompted me to have a clearout!

1 – credit card #1 and only
2 – debit card 1 – daily
3 – debit card 2 – savings
4 – drivers license
5 – fire arms license
6 – grocery store rewards card
7 – starbucks card – sadly empty :,(
8 – yoga membership – also currently empty
9 – library card
10 – insurance card
11 – book store rewards card
12 – partially used book store gift card
13 – pharmacy benefits card (expired I believe?)
14 – student card
15 – air miles card
16 – Provincial health care card
17 – Blue cross benefits card
18 – professional designation card.
19 – starbucks “pick of the week” card x2
20 – 50 cents worth of Canadian Tire money
21 – 3 receipts

It really is little wonder that I can never find anything in my wallet. My cash is currently in my purse (you don’t want me to list the contents of that)

phone numbers written on a piece of cardboard. I don’t carry my phone around with me. I work on the phone so I hate the phone.
debit card
visa card
library card
drivers license
organ donor card
Ontario health card
Prescription drug plan card
immunization record (been carrying that around since 1985)
3 stamps
No cash. I only carry cash when I go out to buy a specific item(s) otherwise cash sits in a can in my apartment.

I loathe purses so I don’t carry one. I find women’s wallets to be bulky so I use a men’s wallet.
