Do you keep paper copies of bills?

[Bernadine]

Like, your monthly billing statements? I feel like I should, but why? I can get them all online. Please tell me I don't have to keep them.

[Kit]

Nope. I get them online if I have to.

I don't get paper statements for anything, anymore anyway.

[fuckstick]

I get everything online. Paper bills are a waste of trees and its just clutter.

[fuckyourcouch]

noooooooope

We have some bills that don't have the option of paperless. Those I file for 18 months.

[lightbulbsun]

Nope, everything is online.

My mom kept them, though. We were going through her desk and she literally has years of statements stuffed in her desk drawers.

I have a few of those too, so I scan, save, and shred.

You would not imagine how much satisfaction I get from shredding stuff.

H likes to keep them for some reason. I occasionally go through them and chuck the oldest ones.

You guys all sound so organized. For both paper and e-bills, I just pile them (e-bills just get left in emails) until I have about a million, then I shred or delete.

[hisno1girl]

Papie, I can't leave emails in my inbox. I have to declutter that too.

We keep an acordian folder of paper bills for the year. I trash them after filing our taxes

The only reason I did this was because, up until this year, one or both of us had an in-home office, so the utilities and such were a partial tax write-off. But, that won't be the case in 2013

His, can you come organize my house? My whole life actually? I'll try to keep it semi-organized afterwards, I promise!

No, everything is online.

[jayded]

Nope

Nope. I get them, pay them, and toss them.

Nope. DH keeps EVERYTHING but then he is a hoarder.

THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY!

I organized my sister with a calendar with dates to file, shred, delete, and 3 months later she was in a paper avalanche because she didn't want to throw stuff away.

lol I admit that would probably happen. The nanny I hired one summer when Sophia was a baby would organize my linen closers, rag drawers, etc. A week later, she had to start over. I wish she would come live with me, lol

[lucky513]
