Hello beautiful , wonderful, wise friends of lj-land. How're things.

I have a question, if it's not too much trouble.

Regarding receipts, bills, pay stubs, etc. How long should one hang onto them before they are just a waste of space.

I ask because I have pay stubs and bills dating back to 1994.

I'm thinking I don't need those. But I thought I would double check.

Also- I have a drawer with many receipts. Not all, but a good chunk of them from the last, oh, decade. Can these be disposed of?

Thank you in advance. :)


ps- did everyone see my pretty icon?

I hear the best length of time to save such things is seven years.

BUt I think it's up to you.

Nice Firthage in the iconage. ;)

Yeah, I think seven years is good.

*nods* I've always heard seven years, too.

If you do decide to dispose, make sure you shred, not just toss. Identity theft isn't as fun as the tv shows and movies make it sound.

And, yes, I did. It's very pretty.
