Just opened my wallet and found this square packet thing that's been in there since freshman year of high school. Not sure what it is. I opened the packet and there was this slimy balloon looking thing in there. Can anyone explain?
Balloon animal starter kit.

I have a full wallet that has all the crap in it, but a 2nd one for day to day stuff. I also don't like sitting on the big wallet all the time. Get's annoying though when I don't have something I need (like Sam's card).

Credit Card, Corporate Card, ID.

Oh, I like that. Mine is similar but no I State logo. Might have to find one of these.

follow up question: what pocket do you carry your wallet in?

I have a magnetic money clip/card holder type thingy. Just a few cards and don't carry much cash so works for me. I carry in my front, right pocket.
Front pocket!? WTF is wrong with you?

I think someone once told me that it's easy to get your pocket picked if it's in the back. Not so much in front. Not that there's a big pocket-picking issue where I hang out:) But I don't like sitting on it anyway.

I haven't carried a "bill fold" in more than 15 years. I have 4-pocket credit card holder that has DL, 3 credit cards, insurance card, and my Costco card. Walk-around cash is in my front pocket, with the credit card wallet in a back pocket. I still laugh when I see guys with that big tumor in their back pocket. And I know full well that if I had a huge wallet I'd end up stuffing it full of needless stuff all over again.

On a separate note, the "Key Ring" app has been a godsend in helping eliminate hauling all the other useless crap around!

When I go on vacation I put it in my front pocket, and then I spend the whole vacation checking my back pocket and worrying for about 2 seconds every time I don't feel my wallet before I remember it's in my front pocket.
