What's in My Wallet?
There's a "series" going around where personal finance bloggers are posting what's in their wallets. (see AllThingsFinancial, Consumerism Commentary, and Stop Buying Crap for examples). It's a bit of fun (especially compared to our usually serious money-talk pieces), and I thought I'd join in.
However, I don't carry a wallet. I carry a metal (yeah, great for airport security checks, I know) combo money clip/card holder that fits nicely in my front left pocket. Here's what it currently holds:
- American Express Blue credit card -- Rebates me back cash on purchases.
- Subaru MasterCard -- Gives me 3% back on all car maintenance at my dealership; we use it wherever Amex isn't accepted.
- Costco member card
- Driver's license
- $73 in cash (assorted bills) -- As I'm the "bank" in our family, it's assumed that I carry enough to pay for whatever we need.
- Receipt from Best Buy -- Just got two iPod Nano accessories.
- Receipt from Steak and Shake -- LOVE their Frisco melts!!!!
- Receipt from Costco -- For gas -- cheapest in our area.
- Church card -- Allows me to check-in/pick up our kids at church.
That's it. Quite an assortment, huh? I'll enter the receipts into Quicken tonight and file/trash them, but the rest of the stuff is always with me.
What's in your wallet? Leave a comment below or post on your own blog and leave a link via comments or trackback.
I can't sing enough praise for the Frisco Melt. :-)

Just found this through another blog - and posted my response to what's in my wallet at my blog. Kind of an interesting exercise isn't it?
