How Do You Manage All the Paper
B and I spent the day cleaning out the office, filing bills, and recycling/shredding old documents. We haven't gone through all of it in awhile, and we would up recycling 2 overflowing garbage bags worth of paper. Anyone have any tips for dealing with it on a daily/weekly basis so it just doesn't pile up?

We also keep all of our monthly bills in an accordian folder. They're sorted by date from newest to oldest. Every three months or so I take out the oldest month and shred those bills. I really only keep them so I can compare things to the current month and make sure the right payment was posted, to check for any new charges or fees, and make sure the balance is correct. We don't really see a need to keep anything any longer than that and when we do, it gets out of control.
All of our tax documents are in a separate drawer because those we do keep for 7 years.
I manage it by not allowing it to collect. All my monthly statements come via email. I save them in a file on the computer. My computer is backed up regularly. All mail is gone through daily and junk mail is immediately put in the recycle bin.
We have copies of every tax return we've ever filed in our safe.
We have recently (in the last two months) started dealing with paper in a new way. One folder one side has the bills we have paid, the other side has the bills still needing to be paid. We keep the paid bills until the nextstatement comes in so we can verify payment has been received and applied appropiately. So far it seems to be working pretty well.
