Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Your Family Records
Carol Pladsen · 1986
52/100
👎 Skip It
A practical household-records workbook from 1986 that filled a real organizational gap at the time, but 40 years of legal, financial, and digital change have made the specific guidance stale. The core idea — get your documents organized in one place — remains sound, but a current resource would serve any family better.
