Keys to my apt, my mom's house, the laundry room for the apartment, the car, The Club device for the car. Wallet has credit card, drivers license, AAA card, library card, health insurance card, public transport card, a fed ex office card (I don't know, I put money on it if I go to at Kinkos rarely). Also cards to get in the office and the parking garage at work are sometimes in the wallet. Oh and there's cash.
Trees don't grow on money
Two house keys, one car key (although I usually take this off the ring and leave it at home because I drive rarely), library card, safeway card (homemade because they only give out wallet sized ones so I cut it to the size of the library card and drilled a hole in the end), Montgomery Wards oil can opener. Not sure why I keep the last. It looks like a bottle opener but it actually doesn't work for that purpose. And since oil comes in plastic bottles now it doesn't serve that purpose either. I guess I just felt the need to have something on my ring that was frivolous.
Wallet has $180.36 cash, personal credit card, ATM card, corporate credit card, work key card, work elevator card (I really wish they would combine these...) transit card, driver's license, health insurance card, receipt from transit ticket vending machine (just re-upped my card today).
I have house key, car key, safe key and one random key that I don't dare throw away. They are on a ring from the speciality subaru repair shop that I love and gives me loaners when I have car work. It also has 5 'reward cards', hardware store, grocery store, walgreens, fabric store and goodwill.
Wallet, hmm, 2 $ cash, debit card, target check card, insurance cards, drivers license, card to remind my of my savings account number, library card, gym membership card, and some stamps.
Now don't ask about the big purse and laptop bag, I have long days and get prepared so I can almost live out of those 2 bags.
My key ring: key to the apartment and key to the basement laundry room, plus a key to my brother's house, which I used the year he was in Afghanistan to look after his house. I could take that off now, but I have no idea where to put it that I won't forget where it is. My car key is in the car fob (I have a Volkswagen), and is kind of large, it isn't on any ring and I only take it when I need it.
My wallet is a small zipper pouch that is just the size of a credit card. It holds my small, dumb phone, driver's license, AAA card, library card and debit card, plus a few dollar bills. If I need another card for a specific purpose, I can fit a couple more in there, plus my keys. It fits in my pocket. (So liberating going to the supermarket without a handbag!). If I'm leaving the house for a long period of time, I have a slightly larger pouch that holds a tube of hand lotion, lip balm, a comb, a tiny flashlight, aspirin, a couple of bandaids, and some safety pins. I can just toss that in the car, or in my backpack, or a handbag, depending on where I'm going and what I'm doing.
Ever since my husband accidentally took my house keys to Regina, I've kept 2 key chains. 1 has house key and car club key (useful in the winter since we can't lock our running car ) and my actual car key on a separate chain. Also then I only take my house key to work and if I lost them I'd still have my car key, if my husband could get me into the house
I keep a powerful little LED flashlight on my keyring. It's about 1" long.
I live in a little town with salt water on 3 sides. When nights are mostly cloudless the stars are amazing. And when there is little moonlight, it is dark as heck here. 11 street lights in the whole town.
This little flashlight gets me from car door thru parking area to home (or destination venue) door every time.

I keep shoppers' reward and library cards in a little envelope in my car's glove box. I hated cramming my wallet and key ring with them.
Key chain contains 3 house keys (one for each door), garage door key and free ice cream card from Wendys attached with the car door opener. Keep another car key in my wallet. All my reward type cards are kept on a metal ring together. I punched holes in the corner and, therefore, do not have to carry them in my wallet. Also, have been told NOT to carry SS card in wallet. I keep it in the lock box at home.
One backdoor house key, three church keys, one mall key (doing some part-time office work for them), truck key, escape key, and a tiny flashlight was added after my dad had a run in with a copperhead in our dark driveway 3 months ago.
I carry a tiny credit card wallet with driver's license, insurance card, debit and credit cards. I'm always misplacing it because it's so tiny, even though it's a pretty aquablue color.
Float On: My "Happy Place" is on my little kayak in the coves of Table Rock Lake.
I have a Green Bay Packers key chain with a bottle opener! I also have a small flashlight, a house key and car key. Spouse has the same only a Steelers key chain instead. :-)
As far as a wallet goes, the one I use for everyday is a change purse that I can tuck in my pocket that contains the following: driver's license, AAA card, 2 cc, library card, and gift card. I don't carry a purse unless I'm going somewhere I might need more than those items. The change purse has a little side pocket so I can put a couple pieces of gum or chap stick in there if I want.
Float on, drink much? (three church keys?)
I have multiple key rings. For every vehicle, I tend to keep a set that is just those vehicle keys, if I need to leave one at the shop, etc. I could probably pair them down some more, but I have some backup keys for others, that I have been asked to keep on me. One of my keyrings has a tag which was where I had a copy made (friends old business) and that has caused them to find their way back to me, twice when I dropped/left them someplace. Other then that, the other stuff is a military can opener (smaller p38 model), and handcuff key (bicycle lock). I don't carry all my keys with me, but three rings is common.
My wallet, has my drivers license, emergency $20, work emergency check, three shopping club cards (work again), CC, Debit card, emergency contact number laminated card, and my medical card and copay. Money is kept in a money clip so I could choose between money or wallet to throw if needed.
