30 Years of Paperwork...Need Recommendations to Start Purging It

GON Reader Question

Dear Maria,

I'm struggling to determine what and how much paperwork I need to retain related to all my past purchases of stock. I have held on to some boxes of stock-related paperwork for over 30 years that is in no particular order and I probably wouldn't be able to locate documents for a particular stock if I was pressed to find it, so am wondering what's the point in my holding on to any of it.

Do you have any recommendations that will allow me to start purging some of these papers taking up valuable real estate?

Thanks for all your help,

-- Heather Pauli

Response from Maria Gracia

Hi Heather,

Happily, I have a quick and easy answer for you. There is definitely no need to hold onto all of those stock records taking up valuable real estate in your home...especially 30 years worth.

1. Current: Hold onto those stocks you own that are still current.

2. Sold: For those you sold, hold onto paperwork related to those for three years after you've sold an investment. Hope this helps!

"I love the JUST ONE THING suggestion. It's like priming the pump to get going for the day. Fortunately, with your help through the years I have decluttered and simplified to a point others notice and compliment me on labeled boxes and clutter-free tables and countertops.

Everything has a place and I pick up always as I move through my home each day. Of course, it is a never ending task plus new challenges constantly.

This week in looking at my to do list--divided into A (today's special and routine tasks), B (need doing), and C (requires $ to hire done) I felt overwhelmed. It hit me--I need to lower my expectations!

You say this every day...I am a faithful follower! So my new motto is PICK 3! It might be pay bills (most are set up on auto pay but 3 need to be reviewed and paid individually), pick up RX, and do a load of laundry."
