PenFed Platinum Visa card, USAA World Platinum Mastercard, Debit card (Looking at it, I realize how ridiculously CC's are named anymore...)

$22 cash (not sure where the $20 came from... normally I don't have more than about $3 cash....)

My friends constantly tease me about the "pharmacy" that I carry in my bag, but the moment they are not feeling well it becomes, "Cassie, can I have some advil/midol/band aid/etc.?" Lol.
