Information Security: The Shredder
Do you think in the future that all documents will eventually be shredded? I mean think of all the important documents that are just left at the landfill where anyone could read them.
I use a cross-cut shredder, you can never be too safe!
Do you a shredder or throw your bank account #'s right in the garbage where it is visible?

I burn all credit card applications, anything that has numbers on it that I know are true, I keep in an undisclosed location--not even my ma and pa know where I keep my bank statements.

Neither, I file all important documents in folders by the months and when the year is over I place them in a box and label it accordingly. I have all my boxes stored neatly in the corner just in case I need to look up any information. It comes in handy every once in a while when a credit card company fines you for supposedly being late.

I don't throw anything away, I have boxes of old papers with closed bank account numbers and such...but I don't worry too much, if anyone should gain access to my account, they're not gonna get much! -TD
