The Easy Way to Protect Your Belongings (and Your Sanity)

Feb 10, 2025

Spending just a little time creating an inventory of your belongings can save you a lot of time and stress in the long run. If life throws you a curveball (or a flood, fire, or theft), having a detailed list of your possessions makes filing a claim faster, smoother, and way less overwhelming. Here’s how to get it done—and maybe even enjoy the process!

Tips for Documenting Your Stuff Like a Pro

Snap, Snap, Snap: Take photos or videos of your valuables. Bonus points for channeling your inner photographer—hello, dramatic lighting! Don’t forget to jot down serial numbers.

Keep It Safe and Sound: Store your inventory in the cloud, a fireproof safe, or anywhere safe from disasters (and your overly curious pets).

Make It a Habit: Got a new gadget or a shiny new toy? Update your list so it’s always current. Think of it as a quick check-in with your stuff.

By keeping your inventory up to date, you’re setting yourself up for smoother sailing in case of loss or damage. Need help figuring out the right insurance for your valuables?
