What is the general rule of how long you keep your billing statements?


How long do you keep your billing statements, or other utility records on hand? I don't recall the general rule of thumb about this. I don't usually have to refer back to my bills for anything, other than for my Home, and Taxes, and that's about it. But, what about the utilities, and credit card bills? When is a good time to shred these?

Most people keep thing from one tax period to another around here, But, in some states you don't have to file everything.
So, I would just keep them for one year for peace of mind. It seems the minute, you do shred something . all of a sudden you need it,LOL
