Gathering financial information

To get started with any of these options, the first step is to make sure you have your financial information collected. Here are some typical resources people like to have available as a part of their Facts of Life Book.

    • Budget

    • Paycheck Stubs

    • List of all accounts including the financial institution, account holder name(s), account number(s), and account type. If you have many accounts, adding a short description of the purpose for each account is a good idea.

    • Current credit report

    • Current bank account and credit card statements

    • Investment account information, including the beneficiary you've identified for each account

    • Retirement and pension plan information

    • Insurance policy information including the insurance company, the account holder(s), beneficiary/ies, contact information for general information, as well as contact information for claims

    • A list of all loans you owe and owed to you including financial institution, loan terms (APR, years, payment amount, and payment date) and start and end date of loan

    • Medical bills and receipts

    • Major purchase receipts

    • Any ongoing claim information (insurance, legal, etc.) which has a financial component
