Have a Master List of Important Cards and Numbers

Because my husband and I travel so much, we came up with a way to have the most vital information in one easy and small space in case a wallet or purse is ever lost or stolen.

Every year, we type out a list that includes information on cards that almost all of us have on our person: credit cards, health/dental/auto insurance cards, drivers license, membership cards, and so forth.

Choose list columns that make sense (member number, customer service 800#, expiration date, etc). and print several lists to keep in a safe, lock box at home, in a purse or wallet, safety deposit box at bank, or anywhere else you feel it will be secure. If anything should happen, this list could be your lifesaver and all that information will take up no more space than 1 sheet of paper.
