Question
1. How do I keep valuable safe and last forever? eg. I think of buying a safe or vault that is water, security, and fire proof?
Henry, A bank safe deposit box is more secure than most home safes but not as convenient. I use both: bank safe deposit for documents and items I don't typically need ready access to and a home safe for jewelry, passports, etc. that are used more often. Jim
