It looks like another blogger has called me out (among others) to disclose the contents of my wallet. PT over at Prime Time Money has issued this challenge in a post where he discloses the contents of his wallet, and I’m never one to back down from a challenge.
My wallet is not your traditional billfold. I had one of those through college and during my first couple of years working professionally, but as my finances grew more complicated I started to develop a George Costanza style wallet that was about 3 inches thick. I decided to do myself and my back a favor and switch to a money clip with a small credit card pouch attached and have never looked back. Anyway, as of this moment, here’s what I have in my wallet:
- Citi Platinum AMEX Card (5x Everyday Purchases/3x Everything Else Thank You votes) – I use this for nearly everything.
- Citi Dividend World Mastercard (1% cashback) – This is pretty much just for places that won’t take my AMEX.
- Diners Club Corporate Card
- Chase Check Card
- Bank of America Check Card
- Sam’s Club card
- Texas drivers license
- Kroger Plus shopper card
- CVS Extra Card shopper card
- 3 CVS gift cards (19.46, 3.22, and 3.31) – I may use them if I ever run out of Extra Care Bucks.
- Aetna Medical insurance card
- Aetna Dental insurance card
- Blockbuster card – I’m not sure why this one is still in my wallet, since I haven’t rented a movie in about 6 months.
- Houston Public Library card – Why buy the book when you can borrow it for free?
- LDS (Mormon) Church Temple Recommend
Unlike PT, I do not keep my Texas CPA license in my wallet. I worked hard for it, but practically no one will ever ask me to produce it instantly. The only time anyone wants to see it is once a year when I am due for renewal when my firm wants to verify that I have kept the license current. I guess my thinking is I know I earned it and don’t need a piece of paper to remind me of it. Of course, this is from the same person who forgot to get his degree certificate after commencement and never bothered to go back and get it. Seven years later I still haven’t gone back to get it.
OK, anyone else want to share???
