When Ex & I were together, I carried the then 'domestic partnership insurance'

And as I look back. 2007-13,that was really good insurance.
I kept the explanation of bennies & the bills in a tidy well organized pile.
Based on advice, I can shred the older EOBs now.

It is truly annoying/anger making, even after all this time to see Ex's name & writing.
Thank God for shredders.

Now I'm not disagreeing with the(your) shredding
However, I have retained much older receipts
Just as a means of related 'self-assurance'
Even in the very-very unlikely event of
Who knows what OR when (if ever)

My brother called me, Mom still has medical bills from the 90s. He tried to convince her it was ok to shred those, she had a fit with him & fussed about his suggestion to me. Mom is 87, fair bet that we'll be purging that in the next 15 yrs.
