I even have bank statements from all the way back to high school. Kind of ridiculous, I know. I really need to switch over to doing everything online, but it makes me kind of nervous to not have the paper trail... yoursilverlining on "Do you file/keep all of your household bills or do you throw them out right away?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-filekeep-all-of-your-household-bills-or-do-you-throw-them-out-right-away#post-239894 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 09:50:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 239894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The mortgage is the only bill we receive a paper copy of.

When the plastic sheet gets full, then we go through and get rid of the old bills. DH loves to burn stuff in the fireplace so that's where the old bills go. :) Mrs. Pen on "Do you file/keep all of your household bills or do you throw them out right away?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-filekeep-all-of-your-household-bills-or-do-you-throw-them-out-right-away#post-239466 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 17:03:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 239466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I keep them all.
