I must have 15 years of them, and wondered how long you keep yours? I was thinking on only keeping maybe from 3-7. Ask at the bank, and they won't say. Really tired of keeping all this stuff. Just more things to move and clean around!

I keep 7 years personal and 10 years for my business. That's the advise I have gotten in the past. Now that you can usually download your bank statements (or copy/paste them into a file), I do that.

Yes you are supposed to keep your financial records for seven years however with bank statements I think it's not such a big deal as you can get copies from the bank (unless your bank collapses lol). I don't keep my bank statements as a matter of fact I get them online.

My Mom had 40 yrs of papers she had to call one of those big shredding trucks to get rid of them all.
