Post #2 What's in your wallet?

As we get older it seems like our wallets get bigger and bigger. Here are somethings I think are absolutely necessary to keep in your wallet.





1)Insurance and medical cards for example I have: vision insurance card, dental insurance card, primary health insurance card and my flexible spending card. This may be TMI, but other girls will understand. I have the Nexplanon implant for birth control, I have a little card that states when I got it, who implanted it and which arm it is in. Because of the implant I can't have blood pressures and other things done in my arm. Say you get in a car accident and your unconscious, your wallet and phone are the first they look for information. 

2) Information containing your vehicle. I always have a copy of my insurance information in my wallet, just incase I forget to put the insurance card in my glove box then I have my old insurence card in my wallet. Plus its good to always have the number to your insurance agent readily available. Every year I pay my parents anywhere from $30-$50 to keep me on their AAA. If you don't have AAA get it. It's always nice to know if anything happens I can just call AAA, and let me tell you, I have. Lastly, I keep my mechanics business card in my wallet. You never know when you will have to have your car towed, Ive learned that its cheaper to tow it once.

3) Reward cards, there not as important but they do come in handy, whether its saving money or getting a free burrito at the Mexican Taco Shop.

4) Your library card, make sure you keep track of your library card. I had a friend whose card was stolen and the person checked books out under her card and rack up a bunch of charges.

5) Cash! In a world where everything is plastic always keep a $20 hidden in your wallet or even your car. For my car I know that for $20 I can get anywhere between half a tank to three-fourths tank of gas.

6) Credit Cards, keep track of your credit cards, it very easy to lose them. If you always put them in the same place then you have less of a chance to freak out when your are at the register and you can't find it.

7) Most importantly your identification. Not only is illegal to drive without your drivers license, but its the fast way to identify you, especially if your in a car accident.
