I may or may not have mentioned that I'm a *touch* OCD...much better than I used to be and very aware of it.
Now, I have a small filing problem and I'm asking for assistance. I keep *everything*. I'm not a horder, mind, but anything that seems like it should be filed is filed...forever. I have every check stub from every job I've ever had. I have every bank statement since I got my first bank account. I have every telephone bill, every tax form, every insurance statement.
My question is, how long do you keep things for? No, not you, I mean, how long *should* one keep such things? Tax forms are seven years? Ten? What about bank statements? Are check stubs necessary once you've done your taxes? Why on earth am I keeping phone bills? Is there a purpose to keeping every monthly statement from the honda finance corporation now that my car is paid for and I have the title? I would like to shred some things...give me permission.
