This week, I've been zoning in on simple tips to help you declutter your paper...and keep it under control. Today is the last day...Day 5.

Curb Coupons. First, if you never use coupons, stop clipping them. This may sound obvious, but I know lots of people who clip 'em, sort 'em, store 'em... but never use 'em. If you do use coupons, don't toss them all in a shoebox. Instead, use a coupon sorter. When you're clipping, be careful of coupon duplicates and triplicates. Most of the time, the expiration dates run out before you have a chance to use them.

Become document savvy. Sometimes it's difficult to decide what to keep and what to toss, especially when it comes to bank and credit card statements, tax returns, canceled checks, ATM transactions, store receipts, etc. Every person has his or her own individual financial situation, so it's always advisable that you speak with your accountant or financial adviser to determine how long you should keep certain papers. However, the average person who is not in danger of being audited, can generally:

--toss paid bills for non tax-deductible items and utilities after 1 year (only keep if you purchased a big-ticket item).

--get rid of day-to-day receipts for credit card purchases and ATM receipts once the monthly statements have arrived.

--recycle monthly stock or other financial statements once the annual statements have arrived. (However, if you're going to be applying for a mortgage or a loan in the near future, it's a good idea to have at least 6 monthly statements on hand.)

--ditch cash receipts for small-ticket items, like groceries, movie tickets, shoes or outfits you don't plan on returning, restaurants (as long as you don't need to claim these for business purposes.)

By the way, it's easy to have your identity stolen from thieves who have found old credit card receipts, bank statements, and other personal documents in the recycling/trash. It is highly recommended that you buy yourself a shredder...and shred the section of the documents containing the personal information.

By the way, many towns don't want shredded paper added to our recycling containers. Just shred the small section of the document that has the personal information and recycle the rest of the paper. You can use the shredded section in a compost pile (just like dry leaves), as eco-friendly packing material if you're shipping out a package, or toss it in the trash.
