Suze Orman's Ultimate Protection Portfolio: save $ on a DIY version

I love this site: Get Rich Slowly. It's chock full of ideas that ordinary folk can relate to. Ideas to help you pay your bills, and also sock money away for future needs. Therefore, Get Rich Slowly blogger J.D. thinks it's bit of a waste to spend almost $70--yes: seventy hard-earned dollars--on budgeting guru Suze Orman's Ultimate Protection Portfolio.

The UPP is currently on backorder at The Suze Shop and priced a bit lower--at $58.74. Yet that's $58.74 (plus shipping) you're spending on what is basically an expertly-marketed expanding file! That's why J.D. recommends a low-budget DIY alternative. By assembling the components yourself, you'll save a bundle of cash, yet still enjoy the benefits of having all your important life and money-related documents in one, secure kit. This includes bank account information, your will, birth certificates, passport, and so on.

Thanks to the wonderful Lifehacker for putting me onto this tip!
