I often wonder if, for many things, scanning and saving them as pdf's or other electronic files would be okay. Dh and I do not keep a hard copy of our taxes, only a cd of it. And pretty much everything else we have is electronic, so why not scan and save your receipts or statements?
I know birth certificates, marriage licenses, etc that's not possible, but I would think the majority of financial documents could be scanned
