Practical Defense 1 - The Throw Away Wallet

[openeyes]

Rather than carry a throw away wallet, I made my wallet more disposable. I went through my wallet and took out whatever I don't see a need to always have on me. For cards that I still see a point in carrying, such as insurance, CPR, AAA, and my blood donor card that lists my blood type, I have photocopies to make replacement easier.

I usually don't carry anything in my wallet that lists my home address (or in my car, since my registration card only lists my mailing address- a PO Box, perfectly legal here). My wallet has my driver's license, but since I've moved I keep the license with the updated address at home.

I have separate checking accounts for my recurring bills and daily expenses, and leave the card with recurring payments at home, in line with episode 99's take on burner credit cards (good idea on changing #s regularly).
