I am woefully unprepared for this situation... Good comprehensive heads-up! At least I've got the "Carry less" thing down; a petite purse (a gift--I never would have chosen something so small) has mercifully forced me to carry only essentials. Wow.

BONKERS. I tend to not part from my wallet when I pay for things. I just don't ever want to go though losing ID again. It's amazing how much of our lives are imprinted on this little cards. @Jules I would have gone bonkers still having my wallet and not my ATM card. BONKERS.

I had my ATM card and credit card stolen once (the bugger was a clever one, he left my wallet so I didn't notice they were missing until the next morning), and while I didn't lose any money--the bank and credit card company were fantastic in that respect--it still annoys the living daylights out of me to think that I'd be lost without my PIN, but a thief obviously isn't.
