It's all those extras that make a wallet's size balloon to ridiculousness—all the family photos, phone numbers, business cards, Blockbuster cards, gym membership cards, Panera Bread cards, Bi-Lo cards, etc. Just unnecessary. All those membership cards you have—they're all connected with your phone number. As long as you can remember those 10 digits, there's no need to be carrying around all those extras.

I know it may be hard to downsize, but it's for your own good. And it will save your spine. Make the switch and you will notice the difference immediately. It'll be like going from sitting on a boulder to a sheet of paper.
