Whether you're dealing with an emergency, setting goals or tracking your progress, organization
is crucial to a well-balanced and thriving financial life. Your aim this month is to ensure that
paperwork, passwords, and other essential information is orderly, easily accessible and
well-protected. The February 2007 issue of Real Simple magazine got you off to a smart
start with a customizable financial directory that puts institutions, account numbers and contacts
at your fingertips. If you missed the feature — or need more room — you can
