Other steps to consider:
Make sure that you are using unique passwords across all of your online accounts and that they are substantively different from each other. You don't want to use "Babbles1", "Babbles2", and "Babbles3" for passwords.
Minimize credit card information saved on your online accounts. As a simple example you can have fistfuls of credit cards saved on an Amazon account but just because you can doesn't mean that it's a good idea to do it.
Enable multifactor authorization on any of your accounts that offers it as an optional feature. Many banks and CUs already require it via text messaging and while SMS isn't exactly the most robust authentication tool it is a vast improvement over just using name/password protection.
If needed, use a password manager to help you keep track of your info.
@coldfusion, Great Advice ..IMO
I really need to stop using "PASSWORD" for all my accounts

So @coldfusion , I guess this is not a good thing eh? .. maybe you can recommend another way to keep the SD cards alive?
Buying packs of gum is not an option
