« on: August 20, 2010, 09:24:20 am »
Well with the help of my fellow Forum members maybe someone would have an answer or a suggestion to:
I have been very busy cleaning and discarding all papers receipts tax returns old checking accounts I have stuff that went back to 1999 so what do you keep and for how long some have said for 5 yrs and others for 7 yrs but it is so much paper do you keep everything or just tax returns and maybe medical stuff or anything you may have had to file legally I am in a quandry as to who is right  So any ideas or responses will be appreciated I did get rid of the 1999 stuff maybe I should put it on a cd?? :dontknow:

I was wondering the same thing as I'm doing the same thing, pulling out the shredder. I don't know either but I've heard 5 year for the normal things and any records of anything fishy that went on that you had to get fixed or whatever. I have stuff from 2004 and I'm overwhelmed, I can't imagine how you must feel!
