What is in your wallet?

I'm getting sympathetic sciatia just from reading what some of you carry in your wallets. Seriously, don't you get back pain from being so unbalanced when you sit, or do you front-pocket carry?

Driver's license
LTC
Visa
Blue Cross card
Costco card
Cash

In my glove box I have the stuff with no address information on it, that I only access when on the road:

Range ID and magnetic access pass
Diver Card
SCUBA tank punch card
Plimoth Plantation pass
Children's museum membership
Library card
 
In my mission wallet:
Money
COSTCO Card
VISA Card
CW Permit
Med Card
Drivers License
Fresnal Mirror
Spare truck key
Arc AAA LE flashlight
Fisher Space Pen (Camo)
 
Oh God! I Forgot to mention, I also have a Kershaw Leek (black) knife, in the wallet.
 
Dad's ATM card
Metrocard
Blockbuster Card
Library Card and Copier card
School ID

Antibiotic bandaids, all in a little money clip wallet

Good question. The answer is: Front pocket carry. I used to do back pocket like most everyone else. This was back in college. After one of my classes, a classmate of mine ran up to me and handed my wallet back to me. It had slipped out of my back jeans pocket and fell on the floor and I never noticed. I thanked this person profusely and shoved the wallet into one of my front pockets.

My wallet has remained front-pocket carry ever since. Now, however, I carry two wallets. One holds ID and credit cards. The other holds cash. If I surrender my cash wallet during an unfriendly street encounter, they get the cash, but not my driver's license or anything else.

That's a great idea. I may free up a pocket to carry a separate wallet.

Mine's brick, absolutely huge, but it hasn't bothered me despite a history of occasional low back pain. Might be 'cause I'm pretty big, I think my back pockets ride a little further out than on smaller folks pants. Even w/o back pain, I'm thinking seriously about going man-bag. S-type Fatboy, or maybe a Thermite.
"What happened to your face?"
"I tried to mug this huge guy at an ATM, last thing I remember is him clocking me with his purse..."

Well now, if you held back on spending for knives, maybe you'd have enough cash to fatten up your wallet so it won't slip out. ;)
