If you are able to get enough money for yourself, make sure that you have proper banking setup and not just keep your money inside your wallet or a box. There are a lot of programs in banks that you can take advantage of to make sure that your money will always be safe. But the most important thing to remember is to make sure that your bank is as stable as a rock because with the financial situation that the world has right now, you can never be sure if your bank is in good hands or not. Make sure that the bank that you join has other businesses besides stock market. In case of another blowout, you know that your bank will not disappear in thin air because of bankruptcy and you got your money safe and sound… if they have insurance, take advantage of that and get your funds fully protected.
