Seeing Crystal play copycat ^[2] made me want to play, too.

This won’t take long. I quit carrying a wallet a few months ago in favor of a Slim-Clip ^[3]. That helps eliminate wallet clutter.

Here goes nothing:

• $0. I usually carry a $150 or so all the time. I haven’t made it to the bank in a few days, and I spent my last $7 on parking.
• USBank Flex Perks VISA check card. 0.5% back on all purchases and, theoretically, up to 25% back on some.
• Penfed Platinum Cash Rewards VISA card. 1% on everything, 2% on groceries, 5% on gas. We don’t use this much, since we are primarily a cash family.
• Driver’s license.
• My health insurance ^[4] card.
• Wells Fargo VISA debit card for my business account.
• Expired health insurance card.
• Car insurance cards. Car, truck, and motorcycle. 1 expired and 1 valid for each.
• AAA card ^[5].
• Carry permit.
• Business cards for 2 attorneys.
• Dental insurance card.

If I go through the rest of my pockets, I have a pocket knife ^[6], 16 cents, a Gerber Artifact ^[7], and my library card.

Including my jacket pockets will add a Cold Steel Sharkie ^[8], business cards, a lighter, another pocket knife, a fingernail clipper, a small moleskin notebook, a ticket to Evil Dead: The Musical and matching brochure, a pad of checks, hand-sanitizing wipes, and a diaper to the list.

Now that I’ve gone through my stuff, I threw out the expired cards. My jacket will certainly accumulate more stuff over the winter, but it’s spent the last 6 months in the closet.

What’s in your wallet?
