Home Filing System Part 3

Now, take each stack, put it into a hanging folder, give it a label, and put it in your storage area.

Remember, NO misc. folders. They are WAY too easy to start using as a catch all for stuff you don't want to deal with :)

Here is a tip for your monthly bills. I have one folder labeled "bills" instead of a folder for each household bill that we pay. Each month after I pay the bills, I record the check number and date I mailed the payment on the reciept portion and file all of these in the "bills" folder. At the end of the year, I dump it all in file 13. That way we have record of our payments and can look back and reference how much we are spending, if needed.

Now your home filing system is complete.
