My wife made me a suede wallet to my specs. It had to be the length and width of a credit card when folded together, pockets on each side to hold the following items: two credit cards (Amex, MC) one ATM/debit card, drivers license, costco card, AAA card, insurance card, and health insurance card. With those cards I have identity, license to drive, buy stuff, get emergency cash, call my insurance company in case of an accident, get towed if the vehicle breaks down, and get readily admitted to any hospital should the situation arise. She will fold a fiver, or a tenner, or a twenty into the wallet periodically because “I should carry cash.” That cash gets spent when she asks if I have any cash on hand. The wallet is usually left in the vehicle (out of sight)and I only carry it if I have a specific reason to use one of the cards. Otherwise it is strictly keys and my cellphone. Do you really need anything else?
