Financial Records Double as Emergency File

April is Get Organised month for the Cheapskates Club, so every day for April will see a new tip or idea to help you get organised and de-clutter.

Today's tip comes from Dianna Smith, and it not only keeps you organised but it doubles as an emergency file too, perfect if you live in a bush fire, cyclone or flood prone area and need to evacuate in a hurry.

"I keep an A4 file, divided into sections. In each section I keep my financial records (accounts and receipts) e.g. utilities, bank statements, credit card statements etc in their own section. This way I can keep track of my household expenditure. It also doubles as my emergency file in case I need to grab records and run."
