Organizing my bills folder has been on my "to-do" or, should I say... "honey-do" list for a VERY long time and especially now that we are married and everything is in OUR name we need some serious organization.
Thanks to a blogger I found online I stole some tips and tricks about easy organization that made her life easy!
Out with the old...
In with the new...
I bought two Sterilite totes from Meijer, and 1 box of hanging files. (I should have bought 2, I ran out!)
I spent about two hours organizing all the bills. I separated them into piles and then organized by date oldest to newest. Rule of thumb has been to keep 6 months of bills... I started over for the new year and we are shredding everything else. I think I will make one of these every year to make sure things are organized.
& here it is... The beautifully organized file system for the Klepsch fam!
I also made one for Lennon. Hers has the same documents minus the bills part!
