organize my files and papers

DONE! Might do a more detailed organization later, but the pile is gone and everything is in file folders

2” left, and I still need to organize everything I threw into one big ‘important papers’ folder

went through an inch of the pile but it ended up looking like the biggest ant hill anyone’s ever seen because there was about 12 unopened junk mails

went through and threw away some more. stack is still about 5” high

I started on this and threw away a bunch of junk mail but then never have gone back to finishing the pile . ..am going to try for tomorrow; not sure if I should keep old bank statements etc it probably doesnt matter; never have had much money for anyone to worry about . .all I can think of is if I would need to prove I’ve paid elec bill before or something to show credit; but I think maybe people only used to have to do something like this before everything was computerized
