I throw them away either the minute the payment goes through online or if I'm waiting for credit on something I returned, I'll hold the statement with the original purchase until the credits hits.
ETA: I think I have all my bank statements from when I opened the damn account in 1990!!

Re: How long do you keep your credit card bills, bank statements, etc?
I get a lot of them online but for the ones I still get in paper I keep until I get the new ones then I shred. I can always get soft copies of them if need be from the bank or credit card company. If there is a charge or credit or debit that I have a question about I will keep the statement until it's resolved.

Re: How long do you keep your credit card bills, bank statements, etc?
I get rid of the credit card statements as soon as I see the bank clears our checks. As for the bank statements, waay too long!!

Re: How long do you keep your credit card bills, bank statements, etc?
I keep bank statements one year, pay stubs one year... CC bills or cell phone bills get tossed right away, and Taxes I keep for 7 years. Everything I get rid of gets burned in my wood burning stove or DH's firepit out back.
