    Personally when I was younger, I lost many account credentials and important files when my laptop got stolen at school so an external hard drive is worth it or even a subscription to a cloud based storage provider if you prefer that.

    Edit: personally I’d go with an external drive (40ish usd for a tb)

      This is actually a brilliant idea!

      I’ve been buying hard drives every two years since I was a teen and moving my backups. I still have everything from my old fanfic writing to 6th grade book reports from 30 years ago. My wife regrets not saving that stuff.
