New Jersey, I need your help to know that I’m not going crazy.

I feel like there’s a certain way that people should organize the cash in their wallets, but it came up at work this week that I seem to be in the minority.

When you put cash in your wallet, wouldn’t it seem obvious that all of the bills should be lined up in the right direction and organized in order of their quantity?

Seemingly, this isn’t the case for some New Jersey and I thought it was a given.

It came up on the afternoon show on New Jersey 101.5 that people have different ways of organizing or, in this case, not organizing their wallets and I need to know who the normal one is here: me or my broadcast partner Jeff Deminski?

He has a devil-may-care attitude when it comes to putting bills into his wallet… there could be a one dollar bill, followed by an upside down $20, followed by a five, followed by an upside down one dollar bill.

Absolute mayhem.

Meanwhile, my wallet is meticulously organized.

Every bill has to not only face the same way, they have to be oriented the same way and they need to go in order of highest bills (on the outside of the fold) to lowest bills (ones are on the inside of the fold).
