WTF Personal Inventory: Why Tracking Receipts & Stuff Matters

If you've ever needed to find a receipt for a warranty claim, remember what you bought last year, or prove ownership after a move — you'll understand why keeping a simple, searchable inventory matters.

Be practical first

Start small: take a photo, add a short title, and attach the receipt. You don't need perfect categories — one clear note beats a thousand vague memories.

Designed for different brains

Some people prefer lists, some prefer visuals; some need reminders and step-by-step prompts. Workshops and apps should meet you where you are — not the other way around.

Big wins

• Faster insurance or warranty claims
• Easier moving and estate planning
• Less duplicate buying
• Peace of mind

How to get started

Try capturing 5 important items this week: a major appliance, a piece of tech, something you'd miss, and two receipts. Notice how much you remember and how much the record helps.
