In this crazy world today the job of keeping your valuables and your identity safe are pretty much left up to you. After as many years as I have been married I have a lot more to keep safe, but young couples should start as soon as they get married. You can buy a small fireproof strongbox at any office supply store or even at Wal-Mart, which is where I bought my first one. You should store any irreplaceable papers, such as your social security cards, bank account numbers, access numbers for your computer, car titles, warranty deeds, jewelry and coins etc., birth certificates, and insurance information. If you begin going through your records you will probably be surprised how much information is around your house that could be used to steal your identity if someone was to break in. Equally as important is to have these records if you should have a fire or other natural disaster. These are not fun things to think about but you can save yourself a lot of heartache if you have secured your valuables. I used to have a safety deposit box at the bank, but I’m not so sure this is a good idea anymore. You should also secure any firearms you may have, not only from theft but more important, from your children. Also, don’t put any paperwork in your garbage that has personal information on it. Either burn it or shred it. This will not cost a lot except a little time and you will feel much more secure once it’s done!
