What i found in my wallet...
Well first of all, my wallet is camoflauge leather, inside i found the following:
- A National Sporting Clays Association window decal
- Receipts
- $1 off coupon for McDonalds
- Driver's License
- Hunting/Fishing Licenses
- Debit and Credit cards
- Subway and Regal Cinemas Card
- Multiple club/orginization membership cards
- Bank Account Numbers
- Multiple Gift Cards
- Social Security, Health and Car Insurance Cards
- Friend's Business Card
- Electrical Aprentice Card
- Multiple Photos of me and friends, pets and family.
Sounds like a pretty heavy item doesn't it? Notice how I never mentioned any cash? LOL.

Questions to answer:
- Taken separately or together, how do the contents of your wallet construct an image of your identity?
Well, looking at all the membership cards, the decal, the pictures, and the general color of my wallet would tell you that I am a person that really enjoys the outdoors. From shooting sports to elk, habitat, and general wildlife conservation.
- What assumptions might someone make about your personality, values, or identity based on what you carry?
One could conclude that I am a somewhat orginized person, in that I keep all my information together in one place. They would see that I value my friends and family enough to carry photos of memorable moments. Also that I utilize our natural environment and want to see it thrive, in the sense that I belong to multiple non-profit, wildlife and habitat conservation orginizations (Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, NRA, etc).
- If all they had to go on is your wallet, what would people miss or be unable to know about you?
Well the general aspects of my quarkey personality that kind-of only comes out when you get to know me. Also the various activities, and things that I enjoy doing from day to day in my spare time. They wouldn't have a first hand insight to my friends, whom I believe really give you a major insight into who I am as a person.

All-in-all finding someone's wallet could tell you a little bit about a person, but it's contents would really only touch on the edges of a person's true identity. Our identity consits of our personality, our social groups, how we handle situations, activites we are involved in, and so much more. So to truely see someone's identity you would have to get to know them and, well, kind of observe them in their daily life. And NO, I'm not talking about stalking someone, lol.
