Essential Document Checklist

MASTER YOUR FINANCIAL HOUSEKEEPING

Managing your financial life involves a myriad of documents — bills, mortgages, bank statements, brokerage statements, credit card statements, and more. Keeping these documents organized isn't just about tidiness; it’s about maintaining control over the financial narrative of your life.

A structured document-retention strategy is essential to keeping your paper trail manageable and your mind at ease.

What documents should you always keep?

Deciding which documents to retain and which to shred can be daunting. Simplify this decision with clear guidelines: always keep records related to tax obligations, legal matters, healthcare, assets and liabilities, and other significant transactions. These documents are crucial for future reference and legal compliance.
