Wallet
Lately my wallet has become a bulky piece of leather with so many cards that my ass hurts if I am sitting for a long time with the wallet in my back pocket.

Here is what I found when I took a look inside my wallet.

    1. US Driver’s License – Just in case I need it somewhere

    2. JCB Credit Card – I use it for my everyday expenses these days

    3. ATM Card 1 – From one of the banks I work with

    4. Airmiles card – It’s all about rewards baby

    5. Access card to my office door – My attendance won’t be logged if I don’t use it

    6. Visa Credit Card – My second credit card. Trying to get rid of it.

    7. UAE Driver’s License – I need it to drive in the UAE

    8. Magic Planet card – For some adventure and fun

    9. ATM card 2 – From another bank where my salary is deposited

    10. Health Insurance Card – Needed if I have to go to hospital

    11. Skywards card – To get credited when traveling with Emirates

Wow. That’s 11 cards in my wallet. Add that to currency bills (although I don’t carry a lot of cash) and you can imagine how it would feel to sit on my wallet. It does get painful.

Now I have to figure out which card to get rid of. I know the moment I remove a card from my wallet I would need it next time I leave home.

So, what’s in your wallet?

  • skyward card is totally useless. you really dont need to carry it. they give a ribbon so simply attach it with your travel luggage.

    Ummm.... thats interesting....

    ATM card 1 : From one of the banks you WORK with

    ATM card 2: WHERE YOU SALARY IS DEPOSITED!!!!!!


    I'd be nervous about that
  • DPS » I know what you mean. My salary is deposited in one bank but i take all my money out of it and deposit it in another bank. I might explain how I got to this point in a future post.

    Sounds like alot of useless cards in there. If you're trying to get rid of VISA, leave it at home. Same with second ATM card. I would keep my skyrewards card either with my passport or for my husband, who sometimes flies straight from the office, he keeps it at work. you can always order a supplementary card and keep one at home and one at work.
  • Sheza » Thanks Shiza... I do have many similar ideas in my mind.
