Wherever we go we always bring our wallet were put some important Id's so that if something happen to us we could be easily identified by other people through our Id's
Personally I carry my identification card such as PRC license,voter's Id and other Identification card in my wallet. I also have ATM Card and credit cards inside y wallet. Since most of us carry important things inside our wallet, these things are more important than cash we have to be careful on carrying it because if it's loss it would be hard for us to replace the important things we carry inside which is more important than money. So if ever we found a wallet owned by someone we did not know, we must find them through Id's inside the wallet. How about you, what are the things you carry in your wallet? Have you experience losing it? How did you feel?

Money and the different cards. There was a time when I was in primary school, my wallet was kind of lost because my naughty friend took it and throw it up onto the school's porch ceiling. I had to inform the school admin matters master-in-charge to help me take it down. It took about slightly more than a week to get my wallet back and when I got it back, it was all wet because there was water above there. I had no choice but to buy another wallet, thanks to that crazy friend.

I carry:
1. one if my IDs - only one so in case I lost my wallet,I will not lose all of my IDs
2. health card - it's one of my company benefits
3. cash
4. extra passport size pictures
5. discount card from a waxing salon
I rarely bring my ATM card with me.when I do,I don't put it in my wallet.

the important things that i carry in my wallet are my identity card like voter card, id card from my previous institute, ATM card, driving licence, etc. i also make sure that i carry a few passport and/or stamp-sized photos as well as a few guitar picks in my wallet. besides there use to be several scraps like business card that someone gave me, piece of paper on which i wrote some information, receipt of something i bought or sent, etc. i use to filter them out from time to time. sometimes, i get stuck when security personnel do frisking as they use to ask a hell lot about every piece of scrap they find in my wallet!
not too long ago i lost my wallet as it fell off from my pocket as i was hangin' out with friends (i was wearing a pair of shorts with a shallow back pocket in which i put my wallet). i didn't realize about it until the next day. i was kinda broke thinkin' about all those important documents and the processes that i'll have to go through to re-acquire them. luckily, someone returned it to me after a couple of days. it was lying in the rain so it was quite wet alongwith its content. but i was quite relieved. i didn't mind about the few cash (about 4 dollars) that i lost as all the rest were there intact.

Hello May. My wallet is full of IDs too. The IDs I carry when I am in my country and those I carry when I am travelling overseas differ a bit. But, one ID I always have in my wallet is my "driver's license". That is a very useful and handy ID, because it also has the photo ID. That's what people ask for at times.

I carry my I.D., Social Security card and a lot of business cards that I have collected while I was out and they just get so old and I never use any of them I guess it is just a habit of picking them up because I happen to like the logo or the picture on them once in a while I might call one like if it is a place to eat at some restraunt I had picked the card up at that I enjoy going to. And also My rewards cards like from local stores retail that is.

Just standard things; money, ATM card, student card, etc. I once have a photo of girl, but now I remove. Some years ago, a photo of my lover was gone from my wallet. I don't know who stole it. Perhaps, it is my sister who doesn't like me having a lover. But that's fine anyway. Year by year, my wallet become wearing out, many tears in any spot. But I still love that I do not plan to change.

My wallet is filled with money, credit cards, insurance cards, and lastly licenses. I've lost my wallet in college, but later found out that it was stuck somewhere in my closet. Leaving my black wallet anywhere in public is really rare, because I take care in knowing that its with me at all times. The feeling of loosing such precious stuff is painful and time consuming. Thinking about the time and effort I wasted looking for my wallet, preventing such occasions is better than being careless about it. My past experience has helped me avoid further situations, and I'm glad I learned.
