My Wallet
Stelladoro’s Unfortunate Tale was the inspiration for today’s entry, at least in part. The topic of losing one’s wallet has been bandied about of late, and the discussion turned to the contents of said wallets. As such, I began to wonder: If I were to lose my wallet, how much of a hassle would it really be? After a quick analysis of my wallet’s contents, it turns out the answer is “not a terribly big one.”
My wallet’s contents at the moment:
$148
ATM card for my personal bank account
ATM card for my business bank account
Driver’s License
U.C. Berkeley Student ID
AMC Moviewatcher card
Blue Shield health insurance card
Membership Card for 924 Gilman
BART ticket with a value of $1.10
The only other thing in there is Hello Kitty’s advice to me from many years ago, printed on a little card she spat at me from her perch in a machine at FAO Schwarz in New York. “Remember to keep the promises you make to others and to yourself,” admonished the cat. To this day, I always do; I’m not sure if it is because Hello Kitty tells me to do so that I do.
It turns out I do not have a hell of a lot in my wallet, and were I to lose it, my world would not crash down around me. I would have to call my bank and say “send new cards,” wait for a few hours at the DMV, and then I’d be set. I don’t carry any photographs or memorabilia around, so there would be no sentimental loss. I suppose that Gilman membership card is the one irreplaceable item, only because it is one of the older “lifetime membership” cards, and I’d be sorry to see that go. Otherwise, I think losing my wallet would not be a major inconvenience.
Today’s Question: So then, what is in YOUR wallet?
yesterday i was gonna buy shoes when i realized that i hadnt replenished my wallet after i had taken everything out before i left for my trip. i moved into a new place yesterday and the stuff i took out pre-journey got lost in the shuffle. so, up until this morning, all there was in my wallet was my drivers license, a card with i corinthians 13:4-7, some pictures, and 136 tenges in coin (roughly 78 cents american). im gonna get the shoes after work today.
awwwwwww

@YukiTonbo, Why me?
@Peasprout, well, since u said it’s not gonna create a big hassle for you, and there are $148 hard cash in your wallet, you seem like a perfect candidate.
hey thanks for the post ;) i am most definitely fast becoming the “talk of the town” with this not-so-little accident and the poster child for preventing bank scams “Don’t do what stella did!”
still kinda extremely shocked about it but hey what can you do – at least it’s just money and not someting lot worse (like losing a limb or something)
It would be terrible if I lost my wallet. I have my drivers license, school ID, visa credit card, bank debit card, blockbuster card, albertson’s card, library card, and a few business cards. Luckily, I only have about $27 in cash.
In regards to the school I attend, I am a student at Cal State University, Stanislaus. It is in the small town of Turlock, California. I would not be surprised if you have never heard of the school or the town. Anyway, have a good one!
gosh I actually remember that Hello Kitty machine when I was in high school! Life was so much simpler then!
