What’s in my Wallet?

14th February 2006

I read an article in Free Money Finance where the author disclosed the contents of his/her wallet and invited others to do the same.   Well, I just so happen to have my wallet out, so here it goes…

Credit Cards:

  • Bank Card A (now CANCELED)
  • Bank Card B
  • Bank Card C

Why I am still carrying the other two is beyond me.  My rationale is that they both have balances on them.  I need to cancel them. 

Other Cards/Stuff:

  • Debit Card
  • Two insurance cards.  Ditched to old one for the new one.
  • Two bulk shopping cards
  • Community association card.  Lets me get into pool, etc.
  • Smart card for company cafeteria.
  • Key from Vegas hotel from our last stay.  (cheap souvenir)
  • Very worn receipt for 9 holes of golf.
  • Doctor’s business card.
  • Empty gift card (why am I carrying that?)
  • Movie theater loyalty card.
  • Some card for entering a radio show contest (likely expired)
  • ATM receipt from last deposit
  • Driver’s License
  • NO CASH - I actually have some in my pants pocket.  I’ll move it now.  I think it was Jeff Foxworthy who said you can tell someone is a redneck if they have to pull wrinkled up bills from their jeans pocket.

That was a great exercise.  I cleaned out a few things and canceled a card.

Dare to look in your wallet?  Leave a comment or trackback and let us know what you are carrying.
