I ditched the purse around 20 years ago. I recall carrying all sorts of stuff that I was convinced I needed. When I made the switch to just a wallet, I discovered all I really need is my 2 IDs, my 1 credit card, my debit card,my health insurance info, around $20 cash, a knife and a gun. Sometimes the wallet gets more cluttered like when I make a trip to Sams and forget to take the membership card out of it and my receipts can also make it fat if I don’t empty them out after a day or 2 or 3. I carry my wallet in my back pocket when I wear jeans which is most of the time. The other back pocket gets my cell phone (I hate carrying it on my waist and have broken quite a few cell phone holders before I figured out to put it in the other back pocket) For the most part, I don’t start a day out with change and any that gets collected goes into the right front pocket. The pocket knife occupies the left front pocket and the gun goes on the right hip. Other “essentials” such as personal grooming items stay at home/in the car/in my desk. Car keys went onto a clip and hang from a belt loop or get stuffed into one of the back pockets.
