Are you a receipt hoarder? If so, Real Simple has a quick guide to how long you should keep various types of financial records, organized by how long you should keep them. For example:

Toss Every Month:
• ATM And bank-deposit slips, after you've recorded the amounts in your check register and checked them against your monthly bank statement.
• Credit-card receipts, after you've checked to make sure the item appears correctly on your monthly statement.
• Sales receipts for minor purchases, after you've satisfactorily used the item and if it has no warranty.
