Get Organized

 
  If you haven’t made a new year's resolution yet, consider vowing to rid yourself of those pesky paper piles. Clearing out the clutter will make organizing your personal and financial records a whole lot easier. The following tips will help you in determining what items to keep and what to pitch.  
 
 
  • Grocery receipts and other nondeductible expense receipts and statements can be destroyed after they have been recorded for budgeting purposes.
  • Canceled checks should be saved for three years.
  • Tax returns and supporting schedules and documents should be kept for seven years.
  • Utility bill stubs may be destroyed after recording, however, you may wish to hold onto these for a year to compare monthly costs. If you plan to sell your home, you will want to retain these bills, to show to prospective buyers.
  • Documents pertaining to buying, selling or improving your home should be kept indefinitely.
 
 
  Records on major purchases should be kept as long as you have the item.
