Some great tips here I would also add to consolidate your savings accounts so you do not have bit everywhere! A larger balance may also mean you can command a better rate.

I love the list. Very well thought out.

One suggestion on the password issue, try RoboForm. I can’t imagine life online without it.

Paperless is the way to go. I also do more online banking and have set up automatic payments and transfers to help simplify everything. I like things to be very hassle free.

Great list!

I love your idea on how to create a system for passwords.

Mint is also a great budgeting tool. I love how they send me a weekly snapshot of my finances. You can also receive email alerts from Mint to let you know if you’ve went over budget on any category.

Bill – Thanks for reminding me. With my checking I also carry a debit card, even though I never use it and it is always separate from my credit card.

My debit card acts as my backup.

Thanks for the comment.

I use one primary credit card (that pays cash back & I pay the balance in full each month), but I always maintain a second card as a precaution.

If the primary credit card is lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised, I need a backup card that I can begin to use immediately.

Without the backup card, my life would be very difficult as I would scramble to arrange alternate payment for all the electronic bill paying scheduled for the primary card.
