I think it’s time to take a break from social networking and focus on other ways to make life more ‘harmonic.’ A friend forwarded me this article today (thanks Jayne!) from the Real Simple website:
How to Replace (and Store) Crucial Documents (By Erik Jackson)
The article is full of information about how to get copies of:
- birth certificate
- social security card
- passport
- copies of your college diploma and school transcripts
- tax returns
- car title
- property deed
It’s broken down into easy to read paragraphs including:
- Why you need it
- Where to get a new one
- What you need to get it
- How long it takes
The last 3 pages are about storing and protecting your papers from what you can safely laminate to what should be stored in a safe-deposit box.
The article is broken up into 12 pages and (I think) the navigation on the site is a bit cumbersome. Make sure to look for the arrows on either side of the graphic to advance to the next page, otherwise, you’ll miss the guts of it.
