Yeah, I used to keep a binder full of every little thing—total overkill. These days, I just snap pics of my receipts and stash 'em in a cloud folder. ...
Not always true—some comprehensive policies will cover “sudden and accidental” failures, but you’ve gotta read the fine print. I’ve seen a few cases w...
