I'm drowning in receipts. I have to throw 90% of them out, but I shirk the task because each one needs to be destroyed completely so that none of my financial data is exposed. It's a labor I've put off. Meanwhile, the damned things keep building up and up and up. They also need to be sorted, because a small number of them can't be discarded even if they are years old. I started tearing them into little pieces. Now I got a garbage bag full of confetti. And I've still go a mountain of receipts. I don't own a shredder and don't want to waste money buying one. I'm thinking of just separating out the useless ones and having a bonfire of the vanities in my back yard.
