How do you organize your important papers?
Hi I have a question I don't know how to organize our important papers. What are your techniques or how do you organize those papers?
Re: How do you organize your important papers?
We have something like this that we put all our bill and important papers in. We would like to get a fire safe one to put really important papers in like our marriage certificate, SS cards, ect. But for now, we just use this.
I have 2 sets. I have the originals of things like our marriage certificate, vehicle titles, birth certificates, etc in a "go binder" so that in case anything ever happens (fire, flood, evacuation) I have them ready immediately. I have also scanned them with the images printed & saved on a flash drive. Sounds like a lot, but it's worth it for the peace of mind for me.
The "household" papers for bills, retirement, etc are filed in a portable file holder. and organized according to David Bach's plan outlined in Smart Couples Finish Rich.
LOVE the idea of a 'go' binder and flash drive.
i need to do this.

I have a filer like this one in my office. It's near the door so I can grab and go in an emergency.

We have a file cabinet in our basement where we keep tax returns, official documents like my professional license, etc.
I keep my school materials in folders.
I basically have this. Not this exact one but something very similar.
My husband, before we were married, used a plastic accordion binder. And then of course, there's full on filing cabinets. It all depends on how much paperwork you have.
