Icon6 What's in your wallet?

Spent some time this morning transferring from my old worn out wallet to a newly found, long past gift wallet I'd recently found in a drawer.

My wallet contains:
Not enough cash
Drivers license
Lodge dues card
Medical card
Medical Billing instructions card
Blood donor card
St. Christopher medal coin
Flexible medical spending account credit card (mine)
Flexible magical spending account credit card (wifes)
Emergency visa credit card
3 debit cards
Insurance card
2 business cards
Occasional card of new acquaintance or dr.appointment etc.
Club store membership card
5 different store/restaurant/gas rewards club cards
Various scraps of paper holding 'precious' tidbits of info. or receipts.

I don't expect this wallet to last more than a year and when it fails I hope to replace it with something of better quality. Maybe in that time I'll learn to condense. It's still too thick but I still think I need all this stuff.
So as the bank commercial asks: What's in your wallet?

Ok here's how I travel. In left front pocket my PD shield. Right front pocket has my money clip with certain credit cards. Left rear pocket has my business card case & my right rear pocket has a small Derek Alexander credit card case with my NYPD ID card, concealed carry permit, HR218 carry permit & my GHI/Blue Cross card. On my right hip I carry what I can't talk about.

Two wallets here:

First one badge, credentials, drivers license and blood donor's card.

Second one has three debit, two credit cards, pic of first son, Godiva rewards card, Sam's club ID, business card with my wife's Rolex wish list model # on the back, rainforest cafe preferred diner's card and a Sandals Select Platinum (soon to be diamond) membership card.

Never any cash in them....
