An open question from Steve<\/a>:<\/p>\n

(a) How old is your wallet? (b) What kind of features do you look for in a wallet? (c) Do you remember your first wallet? (d) What do you keep in it? What do you keep in your wallet? Do you stick with financial and ID standards, like cash and cards, or do you keep spare keys, change, photographs, old shopping lists and the like? (e) Do you ever let anybody else look in your wallet?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hmmm. This wallet’s got to be several years old, possibly older than 10 years. I don’t recall the last time I replaced my wallet, a green Eagle Creek rip-stop thang (similar to this<\/a>) I picked up at REI. It’s a bit grungy, but it does the job (and I don’t carry a wallet to show it off).\n
  2. Durability. Pockets. A window for my DL. A non-accordian insert. A modicum of water protection. Oh, and durability.<\/p>\n
  3. Nope. Sure I had one, most likely a black leather hand-me-down from my dad. I don’t think I started carrying a wallet until high school. Not much ID, and no money … <\/p>\n
  4. Money. Credit cards. Membership cards to the zoo and rec district and insurance and Frequent Flier\/Sleeper clubs. Punch cards for a handful of restaurants I frequent. My office building card key. A spare car key. A picture of Katherine. A drivers license. Occasional receipts that get handed back with cash. My wedding ring (in a zippered pocket) when I have a problem with my finger. Overall, way, way too much.<\/p>\n
  5. Not usually. I don’t keep it a secret (and will sometimes show off the picture of Katherine), but I don’t send folks (other than Margie) into my wallet to find things.<\/p>\n
  6. Bonus Question\/Answer: Where do you carry your wallet?<\/em> Left front pocket of my pants. Never got into the habit of putting it into the “sucker” (rear) pocket; on those rare occasions where I’ve had to, it seems quite uncomfortable to do so and sit down.<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
