What Should Stay:
Driver's license or ID card; medical-insurance card,
prescription card, supermarket discount card; a week's worth of
cash; loose change (keep it in your wallet so you'll actually use
it); one or two credit cards, plus one ATM card. Carry only the
cards you use at least once a week.
What Should Go:
Extra and little-used credit cards; department-store charge
cards, Social Security card, voter-registration card; receipts and
business cards. Set aside five minutes every week to file
receipts.
Extras:
Hide a $20 bill in your wallet for emergencies.
Keep a list of your wallet's contents in case it's lost or
stolen. (But not in your wallet.)
