I used to save them on my hard drives (txts, excels) but since it crashed a bit ago causing me to lose much valuable data that I had no backup access to I started using

Funny to see that IM'ers fail in keeping encrypted cloud backups, and resort to pen and paper...

edit.
Arrogance? Oh jeez...

Just backup all the txt, excel files, etc. every night to a USB before you go to bed.
 
google docs works for me :) and plain paper too
 
Excel works but sometimes for a new project I have use Microsoft One Note and yes I back all of this up on a regular basis. Remember my friends, computers sense fear! I don't trust the cloud since I'm not sure who is doing their backup!
 
I use Google docs / spreadsheet heavily. Selected files to Dropbox. Evernote for everything else.
 
Open Office Calc (spreadsheet) placed in one folder. Backups are crucial!! I don't trust clouds.
 
I use Excel to record all my data. Both excel and word have password protection built in.

I'm very lazy, so in the past I would rarely backup my data. So with this in mind I decided to get Raid-1 hard drives. If one hard drive fails, I've got all my data on the other.

Now I still have to be wary of thieves stealing my computer, but if there's a fire or any other natural disaster, you'll find me standing outside my home holding my computer.

Same. I trust only myself regarding sensitive info and not some idiot Level 1 tech who just graduated last week looking after the cloud servers.

I just save all the info on my PC and then back it up on a USB. Then every 3-6 months get a new USB rinse/repeat.

I have .txt files of most information, like usernames and passwords to my websites and accounts. Don't worry, all the passwords of even slight importance are marked as "usual password" which I remember. I keep track of finances on a little Linux program called WXBanker. It's just a really simple bookkeeping program; lets you put in a positive or negative dollar amount, and a little title for it.

Once in a while, I back all of this up onto a portable hard drive.
 
I have excel and notepad put in to dropbox. I use costum program to manage them.
 
One of my projects in development is a central interface to all my accounts across everything and aggregating the data. So that way instead of having to go to each site I just login to it and can access everything.

For now though most of its stored in an encrypted truecrypt container.
 
Google docs works pretty well for me as long a I'm logged in as the right user.
