Is Your Wallet An Overstuffed, Disorganized Mess Like Mine?
My wallet was so stuffed, I couldn't even close it. It was loaded with lots of receipts, expired coupons, and cards I hardly ever use.
I just did an intervention on myself. My big overstuffed red wallet got replaced with a slimmer purple one. It’s smaller size forced me to downsize. I purged the old, outdated, hardly used items, and will only carry around that which I need. A good wallet cleanout summary is offered in this clip from NBC’s The Today Show.
It’s not that I don’t value or respect money. I’ve always prided myself on being financially responsible. I’m a smart shopper and a good saver and pay off my credit card bills each month. Why then, is my wallet a disaster area?
It probably has something to do with the fast pace at which I live my life. Rushing from one store to another, stuffing the receipts inside along with the bills. Or just shoving the bills and coins anywhere they will fit so I don’t hold up the line at the register.
How do you manage to keep your wallet organized? Do you clean it out on a regular basis? Any tips or secrets to keep it neat?
