[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 113432, member: 805"] I use files/file cabinet as well. I pay all my bills online with BofA. But unlike Marcie, I just cannot do the ebill thing yet. I sort the mail as the postman puts it throught he slot!!! Once the bill is opened, everything goes in the garbage but the cover page. Then the bill goes in the "Bills to be Paid" folder. Once a week I take that stack and enter them into the BillPay on BofA. It's great because you can schedule your bills to be paid only when they are due. Then I print out the confirmation and staple it to the bills. Once that is done, they go in the annual file (2008 Paid Bills). The bill may not be due for another two weeks, but it's taken care of and I don't have to look at it again!. I keep other important papers in a safe deposit box at the bank. This system really helped when I had to calculate child support and spousal support for our agreement. I was able to just look at the cover confirmations and figure out a mediun amount (I used a two-year comparison) for elec, cable, credit cards, phone, etc.... I keep other papers like bank statements, financial investment papers etc., filed by institution in alphabetical order by year. It is it something that only comes quarterly or (for example my IRA statement only comes four times a year) infrequently, it doesn't get it's own file. It goes in the Misc Financial Info file by year. I know that BofA offers ebills and paper free statements, but there is something about having those things in my hand that feels "comforting" Our accountants have tried to talk me into using efile for my federal employement taxes but I just don't want to do it. I would rather fill out the form and take my check and statement to the bank weekly than requesting the IRS to pull the money out of my business checking account. Something about the IRS being able to do that is just not right! Sharon [/QUOTE]
