I just hate keeping the paper. Scan...shred. It started as more of a space issue for me. But having had times now where I've needed to find

a certain bill or certain statement or something, I can see that having stuff scan/shred when I receive it would go a long way to making that work. I think it's hard to see the benefit sometimes if you're hanging onto the paper because you're likely to just go back to the paper stacks when you need something rather than utilize the search

Responses:

not that i've had to go back to the paper much either. i'm reaching critical mass on a lot of old bills and stuff that can just be shredded - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 11:33 2
- *nods* What's the time frame we're supposed to keep stuff anyways? 5 years? I guess it's mostly a tax question -- nm - oblique Mar 9, 11:34 1
  - my recollection was 7 (the length of time from filing in which the IRS can audit your returns) -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 11:36
