Poll: What do you shred?
I want to see if I am overly cautious about shredding things. ;-)
Re: Poll: What do you shred?
I most often shred recepits with my credit or debit info. I also shred bills with personal info on it.
When I donate my magazines i usually rip off my name and address from it.
Then I shred on the normal stuff-financal-tax-paystubs-etc after keeping for as long as I need to of course.
I shred old bills and anything with an account number on it, credit card offers, really anything that has more than just my name and address on it (I figure my name and address are public info).
I don't get a lot of paper though, bills, statements, even my tax stuff and pay stubs are all electronic.
Anything that has SSN or bank account/credit card numbers on it.
DH goes over board and shreds anything that has his name on it.
Considering I have my very first pay stub and every one since, sometimes I feel like I hold on to too much. I feel good knowing how much I used to make and seeing the progress I've made. Someday I'll probably put it all onto an excel spreadsheet or something but for now it's all in a binder.
I try to shred anything that has mine or my fiances name and address on them, as well as any credit card offers. Sometimes receipts get shredded and sometimes they don't, those are more hit and miss.
If you don't like something, change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.
