1 Utility Bills (You can throw out after one year, unless you're using these as a deduction like a home office --then you need to keep them for 3 years after you've filed that tax return).
I have heard for bills, 1 year. For bank statements, I keep them 7 years (because I don't know what to do with them).Although the exception to that is mortgage and car payments. I've heard to keep copies of those canceled checks for the entire time you own the house or car.'ve done this for 8 years w/ no problem. Also most bills/cc you can look at at least 6 mths of statements online and even more if you go to paperless. I do keep all of my health papers just in case. It helps.
