Paperwork storage.

[Slumdog]

I currently have a large amount of paperwork, both business and personal and am running out of storage space.

Where do you store your old paperwork and how long do you keep it for?
How far back do you keep your bank statements. I intend to keep all my business records but how far should I go back in keeping personal statements.

Do you scan some/all of your documents and then archive them onto some media?

Any efficient solutions/ideas out there?

Big box, stick it in the loft.

Do you live in a bedsit of something?

WHS. But I have big boxes about a dozen. I keep the last year downstairs and put the rest in the roof.

******* till rolls and receipts.

You have no idea how much paperwork a shop creates!

I am planning to scan everything and just keep electronic copies after say 12 months?
