Looks like I wasted $10. My only hope is that with 143m affected people, they just skip to the next one if they encounter a Credit Freeze.

Do you think they're more likely to steal the identity of someone with good credit? If you've already got a house and can pay cash for a car and aren't running your own business, I wonder if good credit doesn't become more of a liability than an asset.
