I like colored folders as well – what a great idea about putting the bank and credit card statements in a separate binder!

Thanks!

Great ideas! We also use colored hanging file folders to separate out the different businesses… so Blue is for Church, Yellow for Biz, and Red for Personal Stuff. We have a huge 4 drawer file cabinet where we file everything. Every January we take everything out we have not used recently and archive it for storage. We also found it easier to put all the bank and credit card statements in a binder separated by Month so we can easily manage all of the income and expenses without having to search through all of the file cabinets for the right statement!

Hi Kosmo,

Good to hear from you again! That’s a great idea to bring your old magazines into your workplace – reusing is even better than recycling. A little bit at a time is always the way to go.

I have begun moving my magazines toward their natural reading spot. This is different for each magazine. My computer magazines go next to the downstairs computer (Little Mac) whereas Popular Science goes on an end table next to the couch. I also purge pretty often - bringing the old magazine in to my workplace. Kosmo @ The Casual Observer’s last blog post..Raising the roof

The online banking and payment of bills is an excellent way of following that you have recommended , so is the fire proof box for some major files and certificates .

Thanks for stopping by my blog – you have some great info on yours, so I’ll be coming back for more!

I totally agree about cutting down on junk mail – it can be so consuming. I use ProQuo – it’s a free web service that helps decrease the unwanted mail in your box. I was skeptical at first – but it really did cut ours by over 60%!
