OK, two separate questions:

1) How long do I need to keep bills for? My current method of filing bills (credit card, utility, etc) after payment is...tossing them in a big milk crate. I'd like to organize them more than that, but do I keep them for a year? Three years? Seven? Does it change if I'm using the utility bills as part of my home-office deduction?

2) I know we must, but...who here does website design? I am completely fed up with the person supposedly working on my drag organization's website (impossible to get a hold of, hasn't made any changes (like taking down my LEGAL NAME) after multiple requests, etc). And would be willing to pay out of my pocket for a better website. Who here could I hire?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

meara, I think Ginger and amyth are doing websites. I am deeply stupid right now, so I may be pulling this out of my butt.

Our wings are not tired.

I think you mean Amych.

Deeply.

Stupid.

I typed amych first, then backtracked.

Mea culpa.

As Erin said, I do websites.

There's no reason to keep utility bills unless you're going to use them to show to a prospective buyer. Mine are mostly electronic anyway.

Clark Howard says the two things to keep forever are tax-related things and things that show you paid something off.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What Ginger said, from "I do websites" on.

Well, I figured utility bills might go under "tax related" since I do use part of that as my home office deduction, I think. (I vaguely remember, from doing my taxes this year...)

So is a year sufficient, for other things, then?

As I understand it, except for evidence that you paid off a major purchase.

I need to consolidate years of random filing. I'll put it on the list.

I do some, TB, but I don't have the latest software.
