Travelers are often careless when it comes to their money and credit cards. They take all of their cards, instead of limiting to just the ones they'll need on the trip. They flash big wads of cash when they make a purchase. And worst of all, some even carry their Social Security cards with them at all times! Any of these mistakes can set you up for theft, either the old-fashioned kind, or the new identity theft. Here's an article from USAToday on how to keep your money safe. It offers lots of tips on what to take, what to leave at home, and where to store items during your travels.
