do you know what's in your wallet?

my wallet gets bulkier each week. whenever i buy stuff, paying bills, atm withdrawals - i get a receipt. and for what? not to mention the bulky mailbox from credit card bank statements & promotional leaflets, i think it's getting insane. i think it's now time to take an inventory.

is it ok to use it or lose it? do i need these receipts with me everyday? i wouldn't mind having dollar notes in it but the problem is, whenever i sit on a thick wallet actually causes a serious back problem.

according to its survey people who complaints of back pains visits chiropractors and it says that "the wallet can act literally as a wedge under the person's hip and as a result, the joints of the spine and other supporting structures of the back, shoulders and neck can significantly misalign."

true or not, about time to lighten the load of my wallet.

my wallet is a three folded leather size with a strap band similar to helmut lang's that i purchased from the our-tribe shop in manila - because the quality of the leather is better than the LV's, i admit. and the stock i carry in my wallet are just rubbish. where's the glamour in that?

i've found at least 3 lottery tickets from quick pick machine and it's been there for two weeks. what if i win? ok, i'm putting this on "pile".

30 sheets of atm receipts. i've calculated at least half of my salary from cash withdrawal transactions. that's a lot, compared to my grocery receipts.

few credit cards. does this credit cards fit my needs? does my card provide me with rewards? does carrying multiple cards help or hurt my credit? i really need to educate myself on this!

$3 US notes? from whom?

train ticket. yes it's hard and thicker than the credit card. why do i need it when i only walk to go to work? ahhh, the friends visit.

a HK$393 cash memo from IKEA? i bought a gorm shelf, bottle rack, towelling slip, bath towel & a plastic curtain.

remittance official receipts. now, i see why.

it really gave me a headache. alcohol and calculus really don't mix. so never drink and derive!
