Don’t use that bank plastic any more than you have to. Cash has built-in privacy. And -never- let it out of your hands. Unless it’s legally required, -never- write or ‘give’ ‘your’ SS number. None of these numbers we just have to remember are ‘ours’. Do cows own ‘their’ ear-tags? They just oil the machinery. Before you get rid of that hard drive, open it up and rip out the internal wiring. Then drive a couple of nails through the platters.
