Here’s what we discuss in this episode:
🗂️ Organizing Documents: A clear system makes important records easier to find
💼 Pay Stubs and Tax Forms: Keep what supports taxes or resolves discrepancies
📈 Investment Statements: Prioritize year-end records over monthly paperwork
📜 Estate Documents: Store current originals securely and permanently
🏦 Loan Paperwork: Keep records until the debt is fully resolved
🗑️ Document Disposal: Shred paperwork containing sensitive personal information
Somewhere in a drawer, a filing cabinet, or a shoebox in the closet, most of us are holding onto financial paperwork we don’t actually need. And we’re probably missing a few things we do need. Ryan sorts out what stays, what goes, and where it all belongs. Nobody loves paperwork, but a little bit of organization now saves a lot of scrambling later for you and for whoever has to help sort it out someday. When in doubt, ask us before you shred it.
