What Does Your Wallet Say About You?

A wallet is a very personal piece of yourself. You can tell a lot about a person by just peering into their wallet. While dating my husband, I, for some reason got into my head that he was a certain age. One day his wallet "fell" open and I saw his drivers license, I had been wrong about his age. But also I noticed he had only one credit card and it was black, who has only one credit card? Well someone with very good credit apparently. Marry you? Oh yes.

My best friend has a small robot zipper pouch as a wallet with a drivers license inside that's folded in half. What does that say? Well is says she likes robots, duh. Oh, it also says that drivers licenses are not indestructible as she thought. She tried proving her theory by bending her ID expecting nothing to happen, well it bent. Her theory was wrong.

So what does my wallet say about me?

Drivers License:
My picture is the worst, but who likes their drivers license picture? You would think that day after day, hour after hour of just taking pictures the person at the DMV counter would have some knowledge of picture taking. Can you at least try to get me at a good angle? No of course not. But it's okay my picture is covered in my wallet. Also my license says I still wear "CORR LENS", I use to be almost blind, the DMV doesn't know I got my eyes lasered years ago.

Debit/Credit Cards:
I have 2 major credit cards, 1 debit card, and my true love my Nordstroms card. I'm not allowed to have anymore. I never cared about credit scores and debit until my husband took a glance into my credit report. I told my husband that I didn't take orders from anyone, not from him and not from a credit company. I will pay when I WANT to pay not when they tell me. (I was saying anything I could think of to get him to stop yelling). After he told me that was stupidest thing he ever heard he put me on the straight and narrow back to credit score redemption. I got rid of all my credit cards, but he did let me keep one credit card I had applied for just because it was pink. "Diane, just because a card is pink is not a reason to get a credit card!", yeah, now you tell me.

Cash:
I never know how much cash I have unless I look. I just looked and I have $7. I have no idea how that got there. Now I have coffee cash! I stopped carrying cash a long time ago, since most places take my Visa or my cute pink credit card who needs to carry money?

Insurance Cards:
As an adult it's my responsibility to carry all my insurance information with me "in case". So of course I carry my auto, medical, and dental insurance cards. Grown up stuff is boring.

Gift Cards:
I only have 2 gift cards in my wallet and they are both to Starbucks, and they are both empty. I know they are both empty because every time I got to Starbucks (which is almost daily), I ask "can you see if these have anything on them", every time for the last month they say no. I keep hoping magically someone will upload more money on my gift cards. That has yet to happen.

Loyalty Cards:
I have a crap load of loyalty cards. I'm sure most of you do too. I keep all my loyalty cards in a separate zipper pouch as to not bulk up my wallet. But for some reason Sephora and CVS loyalty cards keep making their way out of my pouch and into my wallet. Sneaky buggers.

Price Tags:
This is probably the weirdest thing in my wallet. I keep the proof that which ever purse or wallet I am using is real and not a fake, so I keep the price tag and the authenticity inside. I don't know why I do that, my mother does it too so maybe I get it from her.

Concert Tickets:
Right now I have 2 concert tickets from a show I saw February 9th at The Roxy. My husband keeps all the mementos from our relationship, he is very weird- I'm not sentimental at all. My husband may be sweet but he is also lazy and hates to hold anything, so he gave the tickets to me to hold and I still haven't taken them out yet.

So what does this say about me? I guess my wallet says I'm simple, organized, insured, I drink Starbucks coffee way too much, I was at one time considered four-eyed, I frequent Sephora too often, my wallet was expensive and I must remember to thank my husband more often, that I like the Friendly Fires and The Roxy had a 2 drink minimum on the night of Feb, 9th. (at least that's what the tickets say).

Would you be embarrassed for someone to see inside your wallet?
