I enjoyed listening to the recent Podcast Karen Caccavo from Personal Money Manager . Her talk offered very good solutions to real issues of paper organization. I like the idea to have a designated spot for mail in the house that is not the kitchen or dining room table. Planning ahead for tax season- a another suggestion she made was to speak with your tax preparer to know what documents and receipts you need to keep for 2020 .
