I was cleaning my wallet today to enter my gasoline receipts. Here’s what I have in center of my wallet:
- ING DIRECT Electric Orange Debit/Credit Card
- Local Bank Debit/Credit Card
- 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
- Starbucks Pick of the Week Card: I just got that this morning. It’s for free Emiliana Torrini download.
I have a left section for medical:
- Driver’s License
- GoldpointsPlus Card: I got it free and earn points when I stay at certain hotels.
I have a right section with one pocket:
- Progressive Auto Insurance Card (soon to be switch with a new, more affordable company’s card) *Update: We switched to Ameriprise through our Costco membership.
- Costco Membership Card
I currently have no cash in my cash fold and no change. I put change in the jar at the end of the night.
Yeah, I keep my wallet light, but it’s easier for me to spend less using this set-up.
What’s in your wallet?

Ooooh. Fun game. I keep receipts in the outer pocket of my purse, and then immediate enter them in Quicken when I get home. But here is what is in my wallet:
$86, driver’s license, health insurance card, debit card, debit card for my LLC’s business account, club savings card, spouse student ID at the university. Notably missing is a credit card. I only add the credit card when we are going on trips, or if we have planned to make a large purchase (and pay it off) for the reward points.
@Miranda: Thanks for sharing. It’s kind of fun to see what other people are up to and peeking into wallets is interesting.
