Is it a good idea to carry around your Social Security card with you at all times?

No, it is not advisable to carry your Social Security card with you at all times. Doing so increases the risk of loss or theft, which can lead to identity theft. It's better to keep your card in a safe place and only take it out when absolutely necessary, such as when applying for a job or opening a bank account. Always protect your personal information to minimize the risk of fraud.
