This is no year to throw papers away. My banking and investment records will be up to date, in case a computer scrambles some data. In December, I'll get printouts of the payments I've made on mortgages and other loans. I might even get a copy of my credit report. My money stays put, where it's FDIC-insured.
Securities stay put, too.
I'll have enough cash for the weekend and maybe a couple of additional days, but then, I usually do. Find out if it has tested its link to the Social Security, the Veterans Administration, your employer, or any other source that sends payments directly to your bank account. In January, check your account to be sure they arrived. Last Christmas, I did all my shopping with a '00 card, without a hitch. I'll prepare as I might for a hurricane or winter storm, with candles, flashlights and batteries, extra food and fireplace wood, some water jugs, essential medications and full gasoline and oil tanks.
