let's see..old bank statements..you only get 12 a year right?
If you are technology agressive: scan them into your computer and upload them some where in a secure place.
if you are scared of the internet: make copies and store up to 3 years in copies and originals
if you are me: heck i dont care..i just log on to my online account and it's there..

One year... unless they are business bank statements, then keep them for as long as you have the business in case the IRS ever needs to see them. The IRS can go back as far as they want... NOT just the seven years that so many claim !!!

I keep all receipts at least 10 yrs. There are creditors that can claim you didn't pay for up to 7 yrs. I have heard the IRS can go back 10 yrs. That's why I keep them 10 yrs.
Computers are fine, but they do crash, then what? It's lost!
