Question: How many keys do you have on your keychain? Do you need them all?
My Answer: Only five. Two are for the cars, one is for the house, one is for my locker at Lake View, and the last… I'm not sure what it is, but I'll know it when I need to use it. Or in about 30 minutes when it comes to me. Hmmmmm…

I have 4: 1 for the car, 1 for the house, 1 for the POB, and 1 for the office. I carry a separate keychain for other, lesser used, keys -- but only when I need them.

I hate having a bulky keychain (wears holes in the pockets), so I use three keychains. One keychain is just for the car key and alarm fob. Another keychain is just for the motorcycle keys. And the last keychain is for everything else, which is 5: 2 apartment keys, 1 bedroom door lock key, 1 bicycle lock key, and 1 laptop lock key. That one also has a tiny buck knife and a library card on it.

Three -- Apartment, Mail, Car
If I want to drive the other car I swap keychains with my wife ... still three.
Then we keep key pouches (or whatever they're called) in the glove boxes of the cars so if we happen to need any of the "other keys" they are where we are.
