I'm in major throw-out mode. Has to be done. How long do I need to keep bank statements and receipts? They mostly just get thrown in a box "just in case." What do you recommend?
Thank you so much for your advice.

after watching the people's court (did i just admit i watch that?) seems like you should keep it as long as you may need or until its past the time that the statue of limitations is no longer effective.
though i also wonder the true answer to this question."Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it." – William C. Durant

But how do you define what "you may need"? I think I just need to worry about the IRS. Fat lot of good it is to be married to an attorney who specializes in fish, water and trees.
