What's In Your Wallet?

What a great question~What's in my wallet?
Rarely do I carry a purse or a wallet. I find them cumbersome and I don't have those nice square shoulders that resemble shoulder pads that hold a purse shoulder strap. My purse shoulder strap always make their way to the inside cuff of the location of my elbow. It drives me absolutely batty. The less I have to be responsible for the better I can enjoy my time doing what I'm doing and focusing on what is around me.

I'm notorious for losing my wallet. I have several though. Thus, because I always lose my wallet I rarely carry one. I took a gander in my wallet and it didn't speak much to me. I'm not one to clean my wallet out, but once a week. What I found most interesting is that I like to keep my Starbuck reciepts as if they were those little green stamps my mother used to save when I was a child. You could order things out of a catalog with those stamps. I wish I could turn those green reciepts from Starbuck's into cash, I'd be rich. Just like another student wrote, 'predictable', as I am too. One would know from looking into my wallet and reading the reciepts it's two cups of coffee at Starbucks every day. Never predictably unpredictable, but predictable so much that the barista's know my order. It is being processed before I ever hit the counter to request it. Now, what great service is that? Totally AWESOME!

It's quite evident that I don't carry cash. I usually use my debit cards, rarely credit cards. I like to use the debit cards, then I don't have to fiddle with the cash or worry that I'll lose it. Tho, it's just as easy to use the debit cards as cash too if someone really wanted. I have a few business cards from locations from around the county that I like to have on hand in the event that I need something. To someone who found my wallet they would have no clue as to why I even carry one. There is nothing in it. I like to travel lightly and carry as little as possible. For the most part I carry my driver's license and a debit card on me. So, it is really rare for me to even have a wallet. As I said, I do have them, but very rarely will I have it with me.

So, again back to the question~What's in your Wallet?
Nothing.
Which would tell a stranger that I'm a very concious person of how I carry and store my identity. I'm very simplistic in nature and personality. If all they had to go on is what was in my wallet, I think they would percieve that I'm very guarded about what can be found out about me, what they learn is the fact that I love to go to Starbucks on a frequent basis. They may even think I'm a share holder in the company.
