OT - How long to keep certain papers?

[Jenn98]

I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how long to keep/file certain papers. I mean things like the following:

Old paycheck stubs
Bank statments
General receipts
Bills (utilities, etc.)

Any advice? TIA

Jenn

I have a link saved from here that I can give you, but I don't remember who posted it.

Also, if you search in the Lounge under 'declutter' or 'organization' you will find a wealth of information.

Hope that helps!
