In a developed country, I would be more worried about preserving proof of identity or ownership, rather than purging information about myself. Imagine if a bank, or even the Federal Government lost your retirement account info, and the burden was on you to prove what your account balance was. Say a loved one is hospitalized during a natural disaster- can you prove to the hospital that you are related?

The strategy that I would take would be:

  • Scan and shred. Scan all important documents (identity, tax returns, receipts for valuables, etc) using a flatbed scanner or a bulk scanner. After scanning something, I usually shred it- no sense keeping all of that paper around. I will keep paper copies of some things for easy reference, but never more than can fit in one portable file box.
  • Use encryption. Save all scanned documents in an encrypted container. You can create containers that require a composite key, i.e. a combination of a password and a key file (which you can store separately). Only mount the container when you need to save / retrieve items. They make similar container systems for password storage as well.
  • Back up your container file and keyfile however you like- whether locally via USB sticks, on cloud storage, etc. At least one copy should be outside of your house, even if that just means your car. (i.e. house fire).
  • Keep a USB stick with container files in your bugout bag. Update it once or twice per year.
  • Keep all critical paper stuff (passports, birth certificates, etc) either with your bugout gear, or in a portable file box that you can cart out easily.

A few years ago we went completely paperless. We had two huge 4-drawer filing cabinets of crap from years of running two businesses and managing our personal finances. It was unwieldy and we always ended up with huge piles of paper waiting to be filed, and I'd end up spending hours getting stuff together for tax time.

Here's what I did:

  • Decided what actually needed to be saved and what could be discarded. A lot of what we were saving was old (some 10+ years old) and could just be thrown away. Bills that were from years ago were thrown away. Receipts going back 7 years were saved, along with any tax documentation, insurance info, etc.

  • We purchased multiple scanners so that every employee that receives a lot of paper has access to a scanner and a shredder. I have a Brother ADS-2800W in my office (I do most of the financials and so have the most to scan). I also have a Brother ADS2500WE and two Brother ADS-1500Ws. When a piece of paper comes in to my home or office, it's scanned and then shredded (if needed) or recycled.

  • I have presets for scanning one-sided, two-sided and continuous for long receipts. These go into a "To File" folder that's shared with my VA. My VA goes through and names all the scans based on content i.e. "2017-01-21 Staples Receipt.pdf" and files them in the appropriate folder in either my personal Google Drive or my business' Gsuite.

  • I use a scanning app on my phone for paper receipts when I'm out of the office. I save these JPGs directly to the receipts folder on my business Gsuite Google Drive.

    My folder structure in Gsuite is:

    > Financial
    >> Receipts (just scans of receipts for archival purposes)
    >>> 2016
    >
    >>> 2017
    >
    >>> 2018 etc
    >
    >> Tax Documents (1099s, W2s, property tax, mortgage interest, etc.)
    >>> 2016
    >
    >>> 2017
    >
    >>> 2018

    So far this has worked extremely well. My accounting firm has access to the Tax Documents folder, and my Xero accounting software. They just wait for my email that everything is there and ready, and they prepare my taxes with all of the information provided.

    This is the 2nd tax season we've been on this system and it's working extremely well. I used to file an extension and just dreaded going through getting everything ready for tax time, now I'm just about ready to file and it's not even February. We will be filed by Feb 15 this year at the latest.
