The only thing I have encrypted is my Quicken data which is encrypted by Quicken automatically. I do have both hardware and software firewalls, and don't share any folders with sensitive data. This is on my home systems. If I had business data on my computers, that would be a different story, but for all my data except Quicken, there's no real need. I keep all my financial info off of my laptop.
