One suggestion I have in lieu of getting a safe is to rent a safe deposit box. If you already have an account with a bank, getting a fairly large box can be as inexpensive as $50 a year or less (we pay $55 for a box larger than an 11"x17" sheet of paper). Personally, I just feel "safer" (heh) with my important stuff in a vault rather than at home. Another tip (related to some of your points) is to keep track of yearly renewables that are on your credit cards (for example, a book club membership). If you don't use that credit card frequently (or you stop using it), you might miss this charge on the bill and damage your credit score significantly. These are all awesome tips.

I have an average for each card and have set up ING to push payments to the two cards I use for all bills and shopping so that those credit cards are always paid off. I do check my statements all the time to make sure bills are accurate but I love the freedom of not having to manually go and do all of that every month.
