Jun. 2, 2009 - Credit card safety
Credit card companies offer to keep your credit cards "safe" for a fee. If they get stolen or lost, you call the company, and they will handle it for you. I found a cheaper way to do this. I make copies of my credit cards once a year. Under the photo copy, I write the phone number I need to call if that card is lost or stolen. There are a few options for storing the information:
- File them in a fireproof box,
- Store them in a bank safe deposit box,
- Give the copy to a family member you trust who will keep it in their own fireproof box.
Here is another idea:
They say you should video tape the items in your home in case you ever have a fire, hurricane, or tornado destroy your home. Give the video tape to a family member, keep it in a safe place at the office, or in a safe deposit box. I suggested to my mom that I should video tape our house on one tape, tape their house on another, then we swap tapes. She would keep mine. I would keep hers.
They say that if a disaster should ever hit, one of the hardest things to remember is all of the valuables you have in your home. If you have the video tape, you can prove it to the insurance company.

Hey, what a perfect summer project! We will video tape the main things, and then take photos of the (double booked) bookshelves. And we'll store them all at hubby's work. Thank you for a great idea.
