This year take time to also“clean-up” your financial records. Sort through your financial paperwork, and identify old statements which can be shredded or thrownaway. Remember, it is always a good idea to shred any paperwork thatcontains personal information, especially bank account, credit card orother financial information.If you have old utility bills, credit card bills, ATM receipts or cancelledchecks lying around the house, typically you can shred these types ofdocuments after one year. Prior to discarding the statements, be certain that all payments have posted to the accounts and there are no billing issues. Financial documents, such as pay stubs and bank statements, can also be shredded after oneyear, unless you are planning to apply for a loan in the near future. A lender may need up to 2 years ofdocumentation. Tax returns should be maintained a minimum of 3 years.After you have sorted your financial paperwork, get organized. Setup a filing system that works foryou. Set aside a specific time, at least once per month, to file new documents as they come into thehouse. If organizing your financial records seems overwhelming, start today and move forward. Once youget the filing system started and organized, then work backwards as time permits.Source: Jennifer L.
