    You absolutely should not carry your social security card with you. Your social security number, name and address, is pretty much all it takes to take out a loan in your name. You lose your wallet, you are absolutely fucked.

      Don’t lose your wallet, then. 14 years has been a pretty good run for me so far.

      If you don’t regularly have any use for it, then that’s understandable to store it away somewhere safe, perhaps even in a leather wallet hidden away to prevent folding, water damage, etc.
