hivemind question - do people keep bills for credit cards, electricity, phone, etc. once paid? if so, for how long?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

msbelle, I am a pack. rat. when it comes to bills. I even keep all my receipts and attach them to the credit card bills. I've actually been working on sorting old bills this weekend. Gods, what a lot of paper.
I know that they say to keep tax information for seven years, and that was the thumbnail I was following. I'm just getting to the point where I could be getting rid of seven-year-old stuff, hence the sorting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I keep bills and stuff erratically.

I keep bills religiously, and once every few years I go through my files and throw out stuff.

I've been keeping a full year on bills.
I already keep all my tax stuff, but I am thinking with as much electronic billing as there is, that maybe only 1-2 months of bills would be ok.

I keep bills, filed when I get around to it. Since I pay taxes as a landlady, it's to my benefit to be able to account (and prove) that I've spent money on utilities. But even if I wasn't, I'd probably try to hang on to them, though now that I'm better about keeping track of stuff in Quicken, I have a good idea of how my historical expenses have run.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We shred our paid credit card bills every two or three months--once they're paid and we match reciepts. With all of them, we can order back statements online, if we need them.
