    ITT: People who need to learn about document fire safes.

    They’re like $30 and will keep your passports, birth certificates, and social security cards from burning up.

    Nope. Three ring binder with page protectors for the important stuff. Some of the page protectors have stickers with descriptions on them. Most of the papers have additionally been scanned and put into an external drive that is decently organized.

    Scattered paperwork drives me nuts.

      Same, everything is nicely filed and stored. The only difference is that they live in a cabinet with extension cords, some random notebooks, a ceramic horse statue, 2 jars of weed, holiday decorations, a rock and a plastic dinosaur.

      I’ve got a drawer of Green & Blacks chocolate bar wrappers because they are a pretty matte gold and “I COULD USE THESE FOR CRAFTS!!” I don’t even eat chocolate, I save other people’s trash.

    I‘m at least adjacent to this group. I have this drawer where my mail goes after reading. So there’s a bunch of stuff in there which is quite important and waits for the day the drawer gets full and I finally have to file it.

    Checks out. Got the rental agreement for my appartment in the same drawer as age old covid tests that probably won’t work anymore.

      I asked the nurse yesterday if my old COVID tests were good. She thought a moment and said, yeah, people that bring in their positive and negative results almost always agree with the lab results.

    No drawer here. I do however have a “box of essential stuff.”

    Manuals, gas certificates, Henry hoover bags. A screw for something that I might need some day. All essential.
