Aah, paperwork, the bane of keeping orderly records!
Have you considered opting out of paper statements and receiving everything electronically?
It has been a game-changer for me.
Now when info comes, I drop it into on-line folders, depending on whether it is a bill to pay, an Explanation of Benefits, info from my doctors, or info about my insurance policy.
Now I'm never searching for random pieces of paper. I have my husband forward his to me for filling too. Since we cleaned it up, we got rid of a 4 drawer file cabinet.
Be Sue to back it up! Mine is in the cloud and on a memory stick.

I have two separate hard drives for backing up. But I don't have a regular schedule of backups; that I need to change. And both separate hard drives are here next to my computer, neither is in a separate location like the cloud. That I had better look into. Yes, my 4-drawer cabinet is mostly a guardian of memorabelia of the children's early years which doesn't interest them.
