I have everything from my birth certificate to my car titles, motorcycle titles, will, insurance policies, benefits information, warranty manuals and random other assorted stuff in one big ass pile in the bottom drawer of my desk. It has a lock but I never use it. Whenever I need something I have to rifle through everything to find it. If anything were to happen I'd lose all my important documents.

That's not to say that I think its a great system, and I'd probably be petrified in terror if I thought about how terrible of a system it is. It's just that my laziness overcomes my actual thought in this case. One day I'd like to make it more secure, make copies, etc., but there are a lot of 'one day' tasks that I've not done yet, and likely won't do for decades. I don't have a passport, but when I do get one, I'm going to at least adopt the idea of 9's to wear it around my neck or something.. just because it's a good idea and requires almost no continued effort on my part (like an organizational/backup system would).

I'm deliberately avoiding thinking about this seriously now, because I know it would get me all freaked out.. like a casual conversation about how I defend my house against burglars would.. at least for that I'm ostensibly prepared.
