How long do you keep old bank records

You know that bank records, such as statements, credit card bills and canceled checks, can come in handy. But you may be saving some too long and others not long enough. It's important for you, perhaps after talking with your accountant or attorney, to develop a plan for managing all this paperwork. Example: Canceled checks with no long-term significance for tax or other purposes probably can be destroyed after about a year, but those that support tax returns, such as charitable contributions or tax payments, probably should be held for at least seven years.

do you back up your Quicken data?

Oh yes, I've learned the hard way. One copy on each hard drive and four weekly rotated floppies.

Thanks for the info.

If youy're my brother, you keep financial records for about 4 seconds.
