Keeping paper files -Hoarding and what the hell do i need all this for?

so i went on a search this morning for something i thoght was fairly close to hand, i didn't find what i was looking for but i realised i have a ton of paperwork!! form decade old+ bank details to most of my ebay/online purchases, with all the usual other paper bills from before some accounts went paperless.
just what do i need this for if at all? i remember my mum say certain things were important like bacnk end electric and of course my benefit records but i think i should have a clear out only now im worried if i start i'll find i need it later down the track, though i want to clear & burn some to free up file space.

See a psychiatrist, hoarding is a serious mental illness that can end up getting very bad. Just watch the show hoarders.

IME the second you go throwing away a bunch of shit you realized "you didn't need" within a week or two, some situation comes up where you need it and now you can't get it. I've built a habit of hoarding shit for this reason alone.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream.

i think because it's paerwork the term hoarding could be a bit more loose some i may need, perhaps not the ebay as most of those are traceable online, what got me thinking is it's to do with a tax return or something i mat have to do one day but since ive been unemployed for years i dont do one and when i do get into work am i going to need to have any of this crap for some one to go through?
i do have a buch of other stuff that needs sorting but without a car or people i cant but this stuff in the bin, i wouldn't say im a hoarde by choice

No matter how improbable something's need is, every time you clean house, you suddenly need something that was thrown away . It's honestly kinda ridiculous how many times it's happened with me over shit I could have never foreseen a need for.

I'm not old enough to have any significant 10 year old documents aside from my birth certificate which I'm not even in possession of.

Why not?
I'd get the damn thing now. Another thing I've learned in life about absolutes, at some point you're going to need your birth certificate desperately. Although being in possession of it doesn't seem to be a whole lot of help. Because if you do have it, it's suddenly disappeared and you can't find it anywhere.

It was probably lost a few years ago by my mother. I honestly wouldn't know where to go for another copy of one.

County clerk office. Get it now, don't put it off til you need it. Last time I didn't have one but needed it desperately, it took me a few weeks to get it.

Lol why do people always confuse me with Shroomism. Even before the supporter account and green name it happened often.
It won't really be an issue. Rather than send the request to their hall of records or whatever it would be, they'd have to send it to the other county. Shouldn't cause you any more issues to get though.

It's okay, it's not like it's just you. Just a few hours ago it happened, happened the day before as well. It's ridiculously common for some damn reason, even when my name was gold and plain to see . I think people see the neon green in my avatar, read the word "shroom" and link the two without ever really thinking/being aware of it.

I don't know. I've almost done it a few times myself. I've even had to scroll back up to double check whose post I was quoting or referring to.
Weird man. They're not even that similar.

Thanks goodness for the information age.
I switched a while back and its been awesome, it actually makes finding things way easier.

actually your supposed to keep business records basically as long as you can for audits, they can save your arse. so don't stop hoarding OP infact you need to hoard more, and more of everything
