This is so true. The first time I went to Ikea, I ended up wandering around for about 3 hours totally overwhelmed. I just wish someone had told me these things before I went.
I carry drivers license, 1 debit card, 2 credit cards, library card, insurance card, misc affinity cards and some gift cards, sustainable fish card, crayons, deck of cards, coupons, mints, pen, PDA, ear plugs, motrin, lotion, pictures of kids, misc notes and papers and chapstick. If I'm lucky I might also have some cash and change. I may also have keys and cell phone in my purse but they might as well be in a jacket pocket.
My purse has my cell phone, a couple pens, lip balm, eye drops, and my wallet with the normal credit cards/debit card/ID in it along with photos of my little one. I also have a new set of measuring cups and spoons in there. I keep forgeting to take them home from work where I had them delivered so I threw them in there so I won't forget finally!
First...its a Jimi wallet. LOVE IT! http://thejimi.com/ Inside: bank/credit/debit card. Food store card. (Wegmans! ftw!) Barber shop membership card (love Sam Spitali!) Drivers license. Outside, in the money clip piece: cash (varies), library card! and movie frequency card.
Driver's license, 2 credit cards, debit card, insurance card, PBA card, student ID, photo of my girlfriend, some cash, and a few of my own business cards for giving out.
What's in my wallet depends on what country I'm in; I recently emigrated from the U.S. but I'm planning on returning to the States frequently.
For now:
-Wallet: Picture of my husband, some cash, US credit card and ATM, foreign ATM, list of the 5 most important values and goals in my life, University ID, US Driver's License, student bus pass, health insurance card, grocery store loyalty cards, intercity bus pass, dorm laundry card (even though I don't live on campus anymore), University photocopy card, and the equivalent of about $5 in coins at all times, to-do list
-Purse: Wallet,day planner, sunglasses, pashmina scarf in case of sudden cold weather, keys, foreign ID card and case, phone, phone charger, pantyliners, book for long bus rides. Sometimes I also carry a small notebook and pen with me for sudden insights.
RIP to my iPod, which used to be a purse staple :/
Funny, I almost never carry around this much. I guess that's what happens when you're commuting to your first year of University every day :P. In the States, I usually just carried a wristlet with my driver's license and cell, and maybe some cash.
I must first point out that I'm in no way advocating con artists. Not at all. These are harmless pranks to play on good friends and co-workers. And dare I say it, you may even want to try them on family, maybe that wierd uncle that never buys your a Birthday gift.
I had heard of toothpaste, which was the first remedy I tried. But I found other methods, too. Below are the results of my exploration, complete with my own experience with the remedy. Remember, I can't guarantee results. If your scratches are very deep you're probably out of luck. But if a few scratches are giving you some skipping or the CD/DVD is unreadable, this may save you a trip to your local Best Buy.

Exactly what I was about to say! Just taste it. In my opinion, it tastes MUCH better than the cheaper milk. It's the best milk I've ever had outside of Europe (for some reason, the milk I've had in Europe is kept warm on the shelf, and tastes incredible). However, I do agree that most of the writing on the carton is the usual marketing BS that permeates our society. I don't remember why I first tried this milk, maybe the others were out at the time. If I had to feed a large family, I would probably go with the cheaper stuff, as I get used to it after awhile, but it's only for me, and a luxury, so I splurge. I thought maybe it was because the cheaper stuff is in containers that let a lot of light in, but the cheaper one in the half-gallon cardboard container doesn't taste much better.
I recently moved to a minimalist front-pocket wallet after many years of carrying a large wallet in my rear pocket , albeit one that probably pails in comparrison to many, but was still big. The new(ish) wallet a nylon eagle-creek wallet with a lifetime warranty - hooray. In the wallet I carry my work ID and security access card, driver's license, check card, and depending on my schedule it might contain either my pool/gym card or my library card. I carry a small amount of cash, and a single page of waterproof paper (via Rite in the Rain) for bleed/smudge-proof notes and to-do's. My newest addition is a tiny, tiny pen that fits in the creas without adding bulk and expands when open to be a full-length, thin pin. Everything I need and nothing I don't.
I am a woman and you do make a great point about women not working. Too bad your message will likely get lost because of the disrespectful way you said it. Also, when men don't step up to the plate, women will. What other choice do we have? This is the fault of BOTH men and women. Women ought to expect more from men and be willing to be ladies.
About your own situation...if you received $99,000, why didn't you put that into education and/or training for a new field??? One where you would not have to physically labor so much or drive such great distances?
Purse :: wallet, keys (home & car), coin purse (holds all of my rewards program cards, which I have about 15 of), sunglasses, Droid, Zune, 4 pens, 2 pencils, gum, Werther's, cosmetic bag (tissues, lip balm, medications, Tide 2 Go pen, band-aids, hand lotion, contact solution, floss picks, nail clippers, nail file, & bobby pins).
Wallet :: insurance cards, Smith's Fresh Values card, Sam's Club membership card, AAA card, zoo & planetarium membership cards, 2 debit cards, student ID, public transportation pass, driver's license, ICE card, note from my Dad, coupons galore (about 50 or so for stores, restaurants, & entertainment), gift certificates and cards, $20, change, some rewards program cards that are used often, parking validations, & a pen
I'm always afraid I'll be unprepared, which is why I also have a purse AND wallet that are waaaaay too big.
MNK--it is frustrating to feel like you can't have what you want. That tends to magnify desires. Just a thought: my son likes to cook and his friends like to eat. They buy the ingredients and he cooks a gourmet meal. Another idea: the Y usually has free or lower-cost classes for those w/ financial need. Fianally, the book "How to Get Out of Debt, Stay out of Debt and Live Prosperously" recommends budgeting for pleasure even while getting out of massive debt.
As for the whole post--once more, I feel like these are my thoughts! Only I didn't figure it all out. I enjoy making lists of what I will get/do each year. Little things like "new pillows for living room." Bigger things like "trip to Montreal."
I carry the usual stuff, a few bucks cash, drivers license/work ID, credit cards (3 of them but only really use 1), insurance cards, a note from my gf to cheer me up when I need one, and a few business cards.

Your site is very informative, and well put together. I have book marked it so I can refer back to it from time to time. Thanks a bunch!
