What do I name my paper file folders?

Question

I would like to get into organizing my important papers, however I have realized that I have no idea what to name the folders. If anyone could suggest a filing naming system, I would appreciate it.

Answer 1

How about some of these:

unpaid bills, paid bills, car insurance policies, life insurance policies, homeowners insurance policies, product warranties, medical records, dental records, owner's manuals for all of the stuff you buy, ... don't think they are important, just check out the number of questions relating to them in the home and garden catagory, deeds to property, vehicle registrations, wills and other legal documents. You get the picture. Sit down with all of your paper and sort it out into piles. When you are done, you will know what to name the file folders.

Good luck with your organizing project.
