I’m traveling this week, so instead of the usual posts that I put up for you thrice a week I thought I’d take the easy way out provide you with a link to a post from the past that I think is particularly useful and that perhaps some of you could get benefit from.
I originally posted this one a little over a year ago, and it’s been one of the more popular articles – it’s all about how long to save various documents. During tax season we all go through the agony of reviewing our old records and looking in vain at the piles from years past, so maybe this article will help you to clear out some of the clutter and maintain only the important ones… And if you’re not saving the right records, maybe you’ll be inspired to start.
Here’s the link – hope you get some good out of it: Financial Recordkeeping – How Long Do I Keep This?
