I’ve been thinking about computer and data security this weekend and I decided to run with that theme for today’s show. I’ve compiled a simple list of 18 tips for you to enhance your financial security and financial privacy.

These range from the simple (#1 is for you to cover your PIN code with your hand) to the contentious (#10 is my advice as to whether you get greater security from using a credit card or a debit card).

But, they’re all useful and free (or at least nearly free).

Enjoy!

Joshua
