Today, my wallet got stolen. I had a bunch of cash, my SS card and my license in it. Now I have to replace everything, only to have to renew my license again when I turn 21 in June. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my wallet got stolen. I don't have a photo ID to get a temporary debit card, and since I don't have a debit card, I can't go to the DMV to get a new license. FML
Today, I finally went to the DMV to replace my lost license. After waiting for almost two hours, I casually rummaged through my purse. Something strange inside the lining caught my eye. It was my license. FML
Today, I left my wallet on top of my car when I filled up with gas. I drove away and didn't realize it until I got home. I went back and found it on the side of the road. Empty of my credit cards, pictures and checks. All that was left was my driver's license. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML
Today, I went to go get a new ID because my wallet was stolen, which had my social security card in it as well. I found out that to get your ID you have to have your social security card, and to get your social security card, you need your ID. FML
Today, I went to Walmart with all my birthday money, which I had in a wallet with my permit and everything else. I was sat on a bench looking for items for my iPod Touch However… I left my wallet behind. Turns out an old couple stole it. I got my shit jacked by grandparents. FML
Today, I realized that I'm on the top of not having my drivers license/ state ID (I was submitting my taxes and needed it) I also threw away my brand new passport because I thought it was trash in my boyfriends car. FML
Today, I finally got my ass into gear and went to the DMV to renew my driver's license. I waited in line for over two hours, only to find out that I had brought my library card instead of my license. FML
Today, I finally got enough money to buy the car I wanted for a year now. It was stolen today too. I had my car for 4 hours. FML
Today, I was pulled over and fined $100 for driving without a license, as I'd accidentally left home without my wallet. I later found my wallet wedged beside my car seat, where it had been the entire time. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should never carry around your social security card! It's not a long number, I'd suggest just memorizing.

My mom had me memorize my SSN when I turned 16 because of how easy it can be to lose it if you leave your house with it. Seriously, report this to the police because you're at a very high risk of your identity being stolen.

The same thing happened to my nephew. I would contact the credit bureaus. And, file a police report

i dont carry my wallet at all outside. precisely because its so much work if it gets stolen. i only carry what i *need*... more people should do this.

Why even have a wallet then? I keep everything I need in the wallet I carry...

I have 2 wallets. One with important documents that stays at home, and one for everyday.

I only carry what I need in my wallet. What's the point of a wallet if you just leave it at home in a drawer anyway?

organization. i keep my cards in there. debit, credit, ID, and so on. even if i dont actually take it with me, its still useful just as a card holder.

Seriously ... you carry your social security card with you?!? Were you on your way to the DMV/MVC? Before you bother replacing anything else, you should definitely contact the federal trade commission (http://www.consumer.ftc.gov) and report your stolen card. They may even issue a new number. After that, consider an identity protection service, as businesses mays till have your prior information. Keep your new card in a safe or other secure location as other posters have alluded to.

usually you can renew your license months in advance

It may be different where OP is from, based on previous comments. But you are right for where I am. I renewed mine 1.5 years early when I changed my last name and address.

Yeah, in Wisconsin you can get your renewal up to a year before the expiration date. I can't imagine two months would prevent you from that.

If your license gets stolen, they will give you a temporary one for free.

Not without proof of ID like, oh... say, a Social Security card?

Hence you only keep the essentials in your wallet. I have learnt the hard way not to keep original documents with you daily. The only original document with me is my debit card (for obvious reasons). My DL, vehicle registration, ID etc are all copies. It's a pain to replace documents.
