Right now, how much cash is on you? Not checks, not jewelry…cash.
I’ve got $653, which is about ten times more than I normally carry, but a number of people paid me back for various things, I won a couple hundred at the casino last night and am finally getting around to depositing the stuff that’s been sitting on my dresser for weeks.
Two credit cards.
Two drivers licenses.
$18 (three fives and three ones).
Homeowners association card.
Blockbuster card.

Two business cards that I have no idea what are doing in there (one for a home cleaning service and one for Bada Bing strip club).
A picture of my kids.
£25 in cash (one £20 note, one fiver).
One debit card, three credit cards, all with depressingly high balances (except the debit card, of course)

a couple bucks worth of postage stamps. I’m pleasantly surprised I am not the only human in the world who keeps stamps in his wallet. It is VERY rare that I actually need a stamp these days, but the irritation of not having one on me when I do is enough to make me allocate a small amount of real estate in my wallet for them.
