I don't even have enough money to play for a safe deposit box. (Which most people incorrectly call a "safety deposit box".) I have credit, not money. Still living on the premise that I can charge all I want and if I die I got to use all this great, fun stuff for free. No badge of courage to me to brag that I have no debt, especially if it means not buying the toys I want. I will never understand the "richest corpse in the graveyard" mentality. Everything in my life is covered. I have no worries about an expensive medical emergency. Other than mortgage, my debt is covered by credit life insurance. And I know I will die owing money on my house. What are they going to do to a dead guy? Glue my ashes back together and sue me? Yep, I am at that age where I started to think about things like this. I live one step above people who walk the poverty line by choice so I can buy toys. I spend so little on food I don't even deserve to be fat! Restaurants? Never. Movies? Nope. Vacations? MAYBE in my little trailer this fall. Which, by the way, is one of those toys! I got it last year JUST in time to be laid up with knee surgery. And this year Covid has me at home. I may head out on late November for a few weeks. Whenever it gets cold here, I will be in various "theres" that are warmer. Maybe parking in all of your driveways!! LOL!!! But anywhere that requires flying, never. $25 to bring a suitcase? Am I supposed to buy all new clothes when I get there? A cruise? What if I got out there and it sucked? I am stuck.

But once again, I digress... So on topic, yep. Offsite backup is a great idea. I personally don't have anything of value on my computer that a crash would be fatal, but a lot of you have stuff you can't "loose" (lose).
