Otherwise, you run the risk of earning money and health problems and even suddenly becoming pregnant.

1. PIN codes of bank cards

Obvious advice, which for some reason still not everyone follows. The PIN code should not be in your wallet in any form - including written on a separate piece of paper and even encrypted using symbols found on the Internet.

Put yourself in the shoes of a person who finds something that even remotely resembles four numbers next to bank cards. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what it is. Therefore, it will be possible to say goodbye to money.

2. Passwords

It is also better to remember logins and passwords from important sites, or at least not store them in a wallet that can be stolen. If attackers gain access to your mail, they can change passwords on social networks and ask for money from your friends or enter your electronic wallet. All this is fraught with serious troubles.

3. All bank cards

Imagine a situation: your wallet was stolen, which contained all your bank cards, and they had to be blocked. The bank needs time to reissue. And to access the money in your account, you have to go to the cashier. In the offices of many financial institutions, they simply do not exist, which means that you will need to look for a branch where you can get money in cash. These are unnecessary chores.

If at least one card is at home, you can always transfer money to it using online banking.

4. All gift cards

After the holidays, a lot of gift cards can accumulate. The first impulse is to put them in your wallet, suddenly you find yourself next to the desired store. But if the wallet disappears, it will be impossible to recover these cards.

However, there is an exception: if your card is about to expire, put it in your wallet to use it as soon as possible.

5. Stash

Cards are accepted almost everywhere, so there is no reason to carry a large amount of money with you. Let's say you have withdrawn your entire salary from your account and put it in your wallet. If it is stolen, you will have nothing to eat, pay utility bills. Pleasant little.

It is better to periodically report a small amount of cash to your wallet, which is not so scary to lose.

6. Cashier's checks

This is already a matter of health. The powder used for printing on thermal paper contains bisphenol A, a toxic substance. And it is better not to contact him without special need: it affects the reproductive system, causes cancer, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases.

7. Travel card

If you lose your wallet along with your travel card, you simply won't be able to get home, and the money you put on your transport card will burn out without a trace. This is especially true for those who pay for travel immediately for an extended period.

8. Documents

Usually thieves are not interested in documents. Often, a passport or driver's license is even found on the doorstep of the police station or in the nearest trash can. But the loss of documents will pretty much fray your nerves, since they will have to be restored - with the payment of a state fee.

9. Spare key

Usually, you can find data in the wallet by which it is easy to calculate the address of residence. For example, by name on the map, you can be found in social networks. A small investigation - and the address is in the pockets of the attackers. So you shouldn't kindly offer them the keys to the apartment - the one where the money is.

10. Condom

For teenage boys, a condom in a wallet is almost as much a secondary sex characteristic as a chin. If you are older, it is better to put it in a more suitable place.

To avoid any unpleasant surprises, this contraceptive should be stored in a cool dry place and not rubbed. It is difficult to create such conditions in a wallet. As a result, there are microcracks on the latex, which will reduce the level of protection to zero.
