I was given a wallet today and I’ve already put some money in it. I don’t know what other things I should put in it, maybe my ID.

    When I had my wallet all setup, I like to take out all cards and get a photo of the front and back of all cards.

    If it’s ever stolen then you can see the photos for the phone to call and report stolen and the card numbers too. You also know what was in the wallet too.

    Bank card, ID, library card, and maybe a small amount of cash. Nothing that you can’t cancel with a quick phone call or replace.

    Driver’s license or ID, car insurance card, credit/debit card, an emergency medical and allergy info card if you need it, medical/prescription drug insurance cards, a spare car or house key. Where you live may change that. DO NOT carry your Social Security card (US) - that should be in a secure place at home, like a safe or lockbox.

    Plenty of people are answering your question, so let me give you a warning. If you put a gift card to an obscure store or punch card for a barbershop in there, you will absolutely forget you have it.

        There are some very cheap alternatives out there, especially on Amazon but probably also very easy to find on other vendor websites. Some of them are even credit-card shaped so much easier to fit in a wallet. Work with either iOS or Android.

            You’re right, the iPhone 11 is very common here. Samsung and Xiaomi dominate the market. Plus, Apple’s prices are ridiculously inflated.
