I keep my paper copies in a 4-drawer file cabinet with 2 years per drawer; thus, I have 7 years of archive plus the current year.
When a new year starts, I go through all the papers in the oldest year, sorting them into three piles: #1 - keep (papers that still need to be kept; things with warranties that are still valid; or things that I may still need) #2 - shred (receipts with information to be kept private - bank statements, medical records, etc) #3 - throw away (everything that doesn't fall into the other categories) On Wed, Nov 6, 2024 at 10:30 AM Tom Balazs <tom123onl...@gmail.com> wrote: > How do you store all the paperwork related to your bookkeeping?
