Every single person needs to have a home inventory
If you have home insurance or renters insurance then you also need to have a 'home inventory' of all the items you possess.
1. Your home inventory should be a part of your Life Binder
It is an essential part of your money life.
2. Excel sheet
I use an Excel Spreadsheet with 2 columns: Item Name and Item Value.
Write down everything of value that you have in your possession and its value.
3. Make backup
Keep a backup of your list of items in a separate place like Dropbox or GDrive.
4. Amazon Photos
Amazon allows you to upload unlimited photos.
I keep a folder within Amazon folder all of the items listed on the home inventory.
5. Keeping receipts helps
Receipt of purchase, photos and/or videos.
6. Home inventory will help you in the claims process
7. Property Insurance
This is a policy specifically for valuables like: jewelry, artwork, one of a kind items.
You may need extra insurance for really valuable items.
8. Take your time and write it all down - update it as you go
Mine is still in progress. I have a lot of crap. But something is better than nothing and I am keeping track of it all.
