<prompt> Human: All this Equifax and hurricane stuff has made me a bit more weary of my financial security, so Im going to drop by a bank tonight and open up a safe deposit box. Im trying to think of all the things that I want to put in their mostly relying on what I know my Dad kept in his and I wanted to get your input on this.My list so far includes:1. Car deeds. 2. Passports my wife and I dont really use them much, maybe once every few years. 3. Certified birth certificates for us and our children 4. A bit of petty cash, probably 500 or so 5. A flash drive with our pictures and important personal memories 6. Previous years tax return My Dad did this, Im not entirely sure why 7. Life insurance policies 8. Our will Any other suggestions? Edited for formattingAssistant: You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Private tax returns contain a lot of information youd likely not want out there so its not a bad idea to keep them in there. Only other thing Id mention is any deed to your home if you own one. Maybe also your social security cards. Human: After mulling it over a bit, maybe it tax return is a good way to summarize all of ones holdings for you posterity in single, convenient document.  <response>: Its also a way to force you to visit at least once a year, to drop off the newest tax return. Too many boxes are left for yearsdecades, only to be forgotten about.
