Thanks for the feedback on paperless billing. Most bills are paid with credit cards these days, the rest with direct bank e-payments. The bank would really like me to go paperless, but I found out the hard way that monthly e-statements are only available for 18 months online, then they want a fee to send you a paper copy. Same with credit cards, so until that changes, I'll still opt for paper monthly statements, and still keep filling up filing cabinet drawers.
Speaking of which, how long do you guys keep receipts and old credit card/bank statements? It's burning season again, and time to reclaim some space.

We keep bills and documents for 5 years. Except for house and cars. They are until we get rid of them.
I check our 2 credit unions. One keeps statements for 4 years online. The other one has statements back to 2006 online.
I keep email statements for each credit card in a separate file for each one. The files are shared with 4 different iPads and computers in case one dies. Each device has it's own password access.
