I've started a simple system. I have an accordian folde with 12 divisions, labled with each month. I just batch all our statements and bills by month (I do it by due-date). I started in April, so one next April rolls around, I'll just pull out the April '05 documents, get rid of them, and start anew. That way always have exactly one full year of records, and you don't have to go looking all over the place to find stuff that you can dump, it's all right there ready to be shreded.
