This week we will take it easy on our budget since last week could have cost you a bit. Sometimes its the little things that you can't do at a moments notice that hurts you in the long run. These things could take some time to track down in an emergency or leave your mind altogether. Here is a simple list of things to do this week and store in your emergency box. My suggestion is to make two copies of everything, store one in your emergency box, one in a large manila envelope in your filing cabinet, and the originals in a fire safe portable safe. In an emergency your bound to take at least one copy if not the originals.
Make Copies of all Legal Papers
- Marriage License
- House Mortgage/Insurance
- Automotive Ownership/ Insurance
- Wills
- Jewelry Appraisals
- Drivers Licenses
- Kids social security cards
- All immunization records
- Insurance policies/ life/medical
- Bank Account numbers and phone contact numbers
- List of out of town family phone numbers
- Picture Identification for each family member
- Pet medical/immunization records
- Any other legal document showing ownership
While you may not want to write down actual account numbers for your banks or credit cards, you should keep a list of phone numbers for those banks. Your bank should be able to look up your account without anything more then picture identification and positive answers to your address and phone numbers. If you have serious medical conditions you should keep extra copies of that paperwork, as well as pharmacy phone numbers, prescription numbers and any other medical information you may need.
