Well, with all of this spring cleaning talk, I am ready to get started. With work, kids, and all the other stuff I only can do it in small doses. I thought I would start with the filing cabinet today. I bought the book "It is all too much" which deals with living with less stuff. I am pretty organized and I don't need a clean sweep type of simplification, but I do need to go through a few things.
The big question is how long should I keep bank statements? This book says only a year unless you need them for proof of deductions for tax purposes, which we don't. I was going to go back 5 years (I have about 12) but this still seems like a lot of paper. I balance my checkbook every month, then put the statement in a box and it sits there.
What do you think?

He won't give them up. He has had to go back a reference statements more than once.
