• iPhone

Outside, if you don't count outerwear, the additions are sunglasses and a pack of Kleenex.

Excepting the pistol and the Kleenex and counting the keys and wallet each as one unit, I use every one of these items almost every day for something. I don't use a lot of cash, but when you need it you often need it right now. My practice is to carry at least two hundred dollars -- by withdrawing it in big chunks I go to the ATM less often, and almost never have to pay fees for using "foreign" ATMs.
