What’s in your wallet?



I saw this question in the interviews done by The Mint Blog, and I think it’d be interesting to see a bunch of responses to that single question. Do you think there will be a difference between what men carry & what women do? I’m betting there won’t be much of a difference, except that women might carry more stuff because they generally have more room.

If you’re willing to play, post a comment listing the contents of your wallet right at this moment. Here’s my list:

Driver’s license
2 debit cards
American Express card
Gym membership card
Costco membership card
10 (!) club savings/discount cards
2 gift cards that I’m carrying around for my son
2 library cards
Business cards for my business
Some 3×5 index cards
Voter ID
A comb
An emery board
A pen
My checkbook
63 U.S. cents
5 Euro cents (somehow I got that in change — I haven’t been to Europe since before there were Euros. I’ll use it on our trip though.)
