School is almost out and summer vacations are coming up quickly. Before you head out for your epic summer adventures, here are a few important things to add to your vacation readiness checklist.

It’s the week after tax day and you’ve probably been working on (or finished) your tax returns. Most of us don’t feel comfortable sharing the details of our tax returns, unless we have to, say for a mortgage.
