How many file drawers of papers do you have?

Asked by JLeslie (65425) November 23rd, 2021 from iPhone

I hate all the paper I have in my house. I’m just curious how much other people have. Not all of my paper is in files, but that’s because I’m not completely organized, but pretty good. I do have two top of desk file and paper holders that I’m counting as one drawer.

I have 13 drawers worth of files in my house! 3 of which are from the business my husband and I owned, so I keep all of the paper for tax purposes. I’m not sure how long I need to keep it.

I won’t bore you with every detail of my files, but the amount of paper is annoying me.

I’m in my 50’s. I only mention my age, because I think if someone says they have two draws of files and they are 25 years old, it’s different than being 50. Paper (everything) seems to accumulate over time.
