How do you store all the paperwork related to your bookkeeping? Sorry if
this is a bit off topic.
I now file all incoming (bookkeeping related) paper mail in a series of
3-ring binders. Occasionally, I move older statements to an "archive"
folder and store them in another room. I don't really want to put an ugly
3- or 4-drawer filing cabinet in this room. But, my collection of "current"
financial folders is becoming unwieldy.
I try to avoid all the go-green, switch to digital statement appeals
because I get so much junk in my email that it's hard to find the
relevant/important stuff. I like getting statements etc. as paper mail.
I could scan documents, but I would be hesitant to throw out my paper
documents, because of the risk of digital data loss (computer failure,
etc).
IMO it's much easier to make offsite backups of digital documents than
paper ones.
Paper burns in a fire also. So need offsite backup.
I'd put some better filtering on your email to snag the good emails into
known folders as they come in -- even if you don't read them.
