“What’s in Your Wallet?”

Answer: “Not a Capital One Card”

PT tagged me to share my wallet’s contents and I guess I’ll spill my guts…er…wallet. It’s not exciting, but it’s working for me.

Here’s what I have in center of my wallet:

• Driver’s License (I don’t like the picture, so it’s hidden.)
• ING DIRECT Electric Orange Debit/Credit Card
• Local Credit Union Debit/Credit Card

I have a left section for medical:

• Medical Directive (Easy to find, if I’m unconscious it lists my medical conditions and contact information for my husband.)
• Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance Card

I have a right section with one pocket:

•   A copy of my Car Insurance information in there.

I currently have $20 in my cash fold and no change. I put change in the jar at the end of the night.

Note: My policy is not to keep my credit card in my wallet unless I’m on a trip.  I’ve been known to keep it in there for a few days after a trip because I can be a bit lazy. This little trip has helped my keep my credit card spending to a minimum. I do pay my balance in full each month.

Yeah, I keep my wallet light, but it’s easier for me to spend less using this et-up. I want to thank my friend “Ani” for picking me up this wallet. Interested to find what’s in other people’s wallets? Here’s a few on the web:

• The Credit Card I Use (Could I Do Better?)     This site talks a lot about credit cards (here, here, and here for example). This is probably due my past experience with them. We go back. My first credit card ever was from Citibank when I turned 18. I thought it was so cool to have my......
