The Bare Minimum

Be it a party, a meeting or a stroll in the park, there are some things that you should carry with you in your wallet or purse whenever you step out of the house. Here's a list of five of them.

1. Photo ID
You should always have some sort of identification on you at all times. This will be of utmost importance in case you are in an unfamiliar or unfavourable situation.
 

2. Pen or a Pencil
You never know when your cell phone will die out. So opt for the old fashioned way and carry a writing utensil to jot down a number or address when need be.
 

3.    Small Change
Carry at least Tk100 in small change, so that you don't have to buy something that you don't need just to pay the fare.
 

4.    Spare Keys
It's always a good idea to keep a spare house and car keys in your wallet in case you get locked out of the house or car.   
 

5.    Debit Card
Imagine this: you see something at the shop window that you absolutely must have but you don't have enough cash in your hands. That's when a debit card comes in handy.
