What's in your wallet/purse?

[Dave Gray]

Since I liked Lil B's key ring thread, here's another.

I have the George Costanza wallet.  It's hilarious how much stupid crap I have in there.  I'll detail it later.   I have trouble getting rid of the cards, though.  I will sometimes use them.  I've had multiple friends help me clean it out over the years, but it always build back up.

Short answer: way too much crap. Mainly too many receipts that I will never look at.

[Phishfan]

I have so little I almost wonder why I carry one. I have my debit card, credit card, my debit/credit for my health savings account, and my health insurance card.

Wallets are another thing that are way too bulky in my pocket.  I have a wallet (if thats what you wanna call it), its razor thin and does the basics.  My ID goes on one side and theres a few slots for credit cards on the opposite side with an elastic strap for cash.  Fits perfectly in my back pocket, super light-weight.  Mainly because I'm always broke.

Ohhh...ha! I'm one of those small women that carries a HUGE purse. Here's what's in there:

phone
makeup bag (a HUGE one with about 5 lipsticks,  a couple of mascaras, hand sanitizer, floss, lotion, etc.)
a spoon (no clue)
HUGE wallet
Nook
random hair accessories
a million receipts (why do I keep these)
umbrella
sunglasses
sunglass case
contact lense solution (travel one)
gum
candy
apple
bottled water
deodorant
tea bags (I don't know)
second set of keys for the running store and the office
Advil, Pepto, etc.

I need to clean this thing out.

I keep 2 credit cards, ID, 2 ATM cards, health insurance, car insurance, and a select few store loyalty cards (Best Buy, a couple local restaurants, etc).

Notice I didn't say "cash" - I rarely use cash anymore.

That's not a purse, --- it is carry-on lugguge.

Yea, almost never have any cash. Not even $1, ha ha. I think the reason my lower back hurts is because I have a brick for a wallet, can't be good sitting on that thing.....

Dave, don't you think you could clean that crap out?  You need an expired voters registration?  Batman Villains? That's all stuff you don't need to be carrying.

Take it from me, from a guy who lost his wallet 3 times in 2 months, you don't want to carry all that crap all over, some of it is irreplaceable (like the SS card) or unsafe (the bank account number).  If you lose that wallet, you could be royally F'ed.  I try to carry as little as humanly possible.  I leave my Hard Rock Players club card at home and only grab it when I'm going to Hard Rock.
