Easy way to help prevent identity theft!

The Social Security Administration has joined the 21st century and has online accounts. Only one account can be linked to each Social Security number - so why wouldn't you go ahead and register now before identity thieves helpfully register you on their behalf. 

It's a small thing, but to my mind it's like registering your email address or domain name - just do it, even if you don't think you'll use it for a long time. 

Thanks to the online friend who pointed this out to me!
