I was given a wallet today and I’ve already put some money in it. I don’t know what other things I should put in it, maybe my ID.
In my experience, as little as possible.
The more you pack into it, the more you carry around, the higher the risk if it’s lost, or worse, stolen, not to mention the more it affects wear and tear on your clothing.
Less is more!
Nah, get some topsider shoes or penny loafers, khaki shorts, woven leather belt, a golf shirt and some aviator sunglasses. Then load that bad boy up with any and all cards you can find. Stuff it until the calfskin is warped and about ready to burst. Then shove it in your back pocket and sit on it for several decades. Ignore any contrary advice from orthopedics.
Make sure you get a good one with multiple fold out compartments too, maximum leather. Bonus if it’s ostrich skin or crock skin to really bulk up the wallet.
Get a library card, always underrated
Having fun, isn’t hard
When you’ve got, a library card!
- ID
- Important Phone Numbers
- If you are on an meds a card with the correct spelling and dosage
Thank you so much! I’ll definitely keep that in mind.
Also health insurance card. I usually keep my dental and vision as well but those are less necessary. Just handy to have.
Important Phone Numbers
I really should do this. And here I am mid 30s and 2X years carrying a wallet lol
- At least one payment card
- travel cards
- driving license/ID
- organ donation card (I stick mine on the back of my ID)
- at least one coin for supermarket trolleys
- some notes, just in case.
- work building access card
When I had my wallet all setup, I like to take out all cards and get a photo of the front and back of all cards.
If it’s ever stolen then you can see the photos for the phone to call and report stolen and the card numbers too. You also know what was in the wallet too.
FYI: do not sit on a wallet. That can cause/irritate Sciatica.
Keep in front pocket, or other carry all item, eg: backpack, courier bag… etc.
Plenty of people are answering your question, so let me give you a warning. If you put a gift card to an obscure store or punch card for a barbershop in there, you will absolutely forget you have it.
Traditionally, a condom. But only for a decade or so. Just long enough for it to mark an eternal shape of dismal circumstance.
I keep a laminated 4 leaf clover in mine.
Me too!
2 bandaids
A note(maybe laminated) saying:
“LOST wallet. Call 555-4678 for reward. Thanks <your name>”
Keep 50 bucks at home, for when someone shows up.
What an original idea xDD
Only things you wanna lose
Sure you need some cash but dont put your life savings in there, just enough for todays shopping/sandwich
I have my driving licence, work ID, a first aid quick reference, postage stamps and one of those Swiss army knife credit card sized things as well as cash and bank cards.
An uno reverse card
It’s come in handy more times than I’d like to admit
Bank cards, loyalty cards, other cards…
Driver’s license. Credit/debit card. Library card. RFID blocker (if not built into wallet).
Health insurance card. Important medical information (like I dunno, “Diabetic” or “allergic to penicillin”). Contact information for next of kin [can be the same card as health information].
An emergency twenty dollar bill.
