A long time ago, financial records were etched in stone tablets. Then there was that in-between recordkeeping method of using paper. Fast forward to today and the wonderful world of E-statements.
Electronic statements can transform even the most unorganized filing system overnight. Not to mention, they're much more secure than paper statements. In fact, if you're not using E-statements you might as well go totally old-school; identity thieves will likely draw the line at lugging around heavy stone tablets.
*Most identity theft occurs from mailbox or garbage/recycling.
