Now It All Makes Cents!

Those thin little wallets! So popular with women these days.  I received one as a gift from my sister, several months ago.  It's really quite pretty!  I was excited to get it & couldn't wait to use it.  My wallet, at the time, was quite fat....perhaps 2 inches thick, and contained my checkbook, drivers license, numerous credit/debit cards, and cash...as well as store coupons, notes to self, an assortment of recently acquired business cards, etc. Well, I'm sure you know....yours probably looks about the same.  It's a sort of 'catch-all'.

I got home with my new wallet and began 'condensing' things, in an attempt to use my pretty new THIN wallet. My first configuration simply didn't work.  The little wallet wouldn't close.  I removed some of my 'lesser used' credit cards, and the business cards of my peers.  Although it was an improvement, it was still a strain to get it to snap closed.  I was afraid of springing the latch & ruining the wallet.  Sadly, I put the cutesy little wallet away in my closet. 

Recently,  I was searching my closet for a particular item, and ran across the little thin wallet again.  Eagerly, I took it out of it's protective wrappings and admired it.  I decided to give it another try.  To my utter delight, I find that the wallet is now the perfect size, and is closeable with little or no effort!  EVERYTHING now fits inside just perfectly!!  But I have to admit....I no longer have credit cards; checkbook; cash; or business cards of peers.  Long-term unemployment will do that to a person!!  All I have NOW, to keep in the little wallet is my driver's license...and I can put THAT in my hip pocket.

I'm still somewhat amazed that the creators of this little THIN wallet could have KNOWN, in advance, that we would all be reduced to nearly NOTHING to carry around in our wallets.  They really are 'visionary' people!

The cutesy little thin wallet is now in my box of "re-giftable" items.
Perhaps someone else can get some use out of it!
