It sounds like you have a really good solution for "the wallet problem." I like the idea of having an everyday wallet versus your "out shopping" wallet. Very nice.

In here goes the few cards I really need (eftpos/credit card, student card, licence, public transport stuff, reciepts when I get them) and money folded up and tucked between two cards. For the rest of the cards, I then have a (mens) wallet that I carry in a bag when I'm going shopping etc. One thing I've noticed no the sudden resurgence of 'clean out your wallet' posts appearing on the internet recently is that they all assume that you know exactly where you're going when you go out. For me, a day into the city means that I might go to a shop that I get a discount with my insurance, might get a juice at the place where I have a discount card, might get a haircut and need my discount card there... By having a wallet with everything in it, if I'm going out it's not big deal to put it in my bag and not worry about it until I need it. If I'm just wandering down to the shops or something, all I need is my little bundle of cards.

Students ride our city buses for free, so my rides to/from school are a piece of cake - just flash the "wallet." Take care, Andrew Brett,

A few years ago, I got sick of my big fat wallet. It hurt my butt and back sitting on it. So, I just took out the card case that was in it and threw out the wallet. I now keep my card case in my front pocket sans back pain. The card case holds everything that I'd ever need. The ID window makes showing my student ID to get into the library much easier.
