Thank you...I needed that.
Okay, so I'm going through old financial papers and I don't know what to keep and what not to....
Here's what is in the "to shred" pile (it is about a foot tall already

)
-old electric bills (circa 2000-2009)
-old apartment rent bills (from past apartments...not this one...yet)
-bank statements from banks I no longer have accounts at
-old job performance evaluations/student teaching observations (2005 and prior)
-old renters insurance documents
Set my mind at ease....this is not stuff I need to keep, right?
I am keeping (for now anyways)
-current credit card statements (and a few years back also)
-current bank statements
-all tax documents
How far back do I have to keep things like electric/phone bills? Not at all?!?
I have huge piles of paper and I don't know what I need to keep and what I don't need to keep, so I just keep it all but it's a LOT and I don't want to move it all.
