Social Security Card

I was just wondering who carries their Social Security Card on them and who doesn't???

I know alot of people do, and I was wondering if it is good to carry it or is it a bad idea.

Thanks,
Scott

I figure it's a pain in the butt to replace and I have never needed it for anything other then when I started at my job so I leave it at home.

Re: Social Security Card

it is a MAJOR PAIN to replace and I know the number, so I don't carry the original

Before I had the number memorized and when I was registering at college, etc I had a xerox copy of my card

There are people who don't know there SSN??? Just so odd to me, I've had to use mine for work (ID, passwords, etc) for sooo long, I can hardly remember when I didn't know it!!!

Re: Social Security Card

Its not that they dont know it, they carry it around for convenience I guess.

I am one of those people. As soon as I get home, I am putting it away though.

Re: Social Security Card

You shouldn't carry it around. What if you lose your wallet? Someone can steal your identity with it!

Better to leave at home....unless you know you are going to have to show it somewhere.
