Here Are 7 Ways to Clean Up Your Overstuffed Wallet Once and For All :

这里有给钱包减负的七种方法：

1. Carry Less Cash

1. 少带现金。

I am always surprised when I see someone carrying a large amount of cash in their wallets. In this age, there really is no reason to do that. I would estimate that 95% of my purchases are electronic.

当我看到别人随身携带大量现金在包里的时候，总是觉得很惊奇。在这个年代没必要那么做。估计在95%的情况下我都使用电子现金。

2. Carry Fewer Credit Cards

2. 少带信用卡。

The same principle can be applied to the cards in your wallet. There just isn't reason to carry a bunch. I limit myself to 2 credit cards.

理由同上。没理由带上一大堆的信用卡，我只用2张信用卡。

3. Toss Those Receipts

3. 把收据扔掉。

Receipts clog up many people's wallets. Instead of crunching them in you wallet, record them immediately. With apps like Evernote, Scanner Pro, and more, you can quickly capture electronic versions of your receipts. Then simply discard the paper scraps.

很多人的钱包里都塞满了收据。做好记录以后就赶紧扔掉。使用一些应用程序来快速的将这些收据作好记录，比如：印象笔记、文件扫描专业版等，然后就把这些收据销毁。

4. Don't File Things In Your Wallet

4. 钱包里不要放文件。

Just as with the receipts, don't file other papers or documents in your wallet or purse. Again, scan or take a picture of them with your phone.

就像收据一样，不要把文件或其他的纸质东西塞到你的钱包里。可以用手机将其扫描下来或者拍下来。

5. Ditch Those Membership Cards

5. 把那些会员卡丢掉。

You don't need to carry all those miscellaneous membership cards anymore. Even business cards are passé in most situations. From insurance cards to local club memberships, take a picture of the card and store it in Dropboxor Evernote.

你不再需要带着这些繁杂的会员卡。名片在大多数时候都不起作用。从保险卡到当地俱乐部的会员卡，都把它拍下来存到网路随身碟里或者是印象笔记里。

6. Carry a Thinner Wallet

6. 带一个小巧的钱包。

It's hard to put things in your wallet (or purse) if they don't fit. Minimize what you carry by getting a smaller wallet. There are lots of great slim wallets that limit you to only a few items.

这样，如果东西装不下，你就很难把那些东西放进钱包里了。买小一点的钱包也能减少你所带的东西。很多小巧的钱包都能让你只携带很少的东西。

7. There's an App for That

7. 有些应用可以取代钱包的作用。

Chances are there is an app to replace many of the items in your wallet. Starbucks has a great app for your loyalty account with them. Apple's Passbook is coming very soon and promises to replace even more of the cards you carry.

有些应用程序就是用来取代你装在钱包里的某些东西的。星巴克就为您设计了一个不错的应用程序。由苹果公司研发的一种即将运行的应用，就承诺可以使你少携带一些卡。
