Organizing Your Wallet: Part III






It's wallet week here at Bneato. Every day, I'll be profiling a friend and their organized wallet. The majority of my lady friends own the Bettina Framed Latico Wallet (myself included). But I'm also including a couple other organized wallets for variety and inspiration. And stay tuned for Sunday's post where I'll post a video of how I organize my wallet!

Jessica has great design style. Whether she's making handmade cards or picking up vintage furniture to make her house a home--she rocks it. So it's no surprise that she keeps her receipts and credit cards looking fancy in her organized wallet.

How long have you had your wallet?
3 or 4 years (I sure do love it--and I get compliments on it everywhere I go)!

What do you like best about it?
I love that it fits everything I need in one place with a great exterior, cute interior, and reliable latch

How do you keep your wallet organized?
I only keep the cards of most importance in there and my receipts only stay in for a few days at most. Then they are entered into our Excel budget and taken out of my wallet. The cards I only use every now and then, like gift cards, refund cards or Banana Republic, etc. I keep in a separate little card holder in my desk. Then I have to plan the trip that uses them... saves time and space in wallet and keeps my impulse shopping at bay!

  2. oooh, the lining of that one is particularly cute. so, about entering receipts, etc., in excel or quickbooks ... the whole thing makes me want to blow my head off. i delude myself into believing that i don't need to do any bookkeeping because everything's on my bank statements and credit card statements. do you live on a budget? people really do that, right? omg, i suck.

  3. @ Sister Kristen. Do you own your own business? If not, you probably don't need to enter receipts into program however balancing your checkbook and keeping a budget is a good idea. And yes to living on a budget (I think of it like a game--just like Kara does with her change). To me, it makes it more fun.

  4. How about a man's wallet? I'm thinking of carrying two wallets, one for each back pocket to even out the load and the bumps I have to sit on, which I hear can cause back problems.
