I still have mine, but it's in my study closet. I have all my contracts in one drawer and notes etc. for two books I might write in the other drawers. I need file folders since MSU bought my literary papers and they collect files at least once a year. Even when something is online only, I print it off, for future grad students or researchers who can have my entire career at their disposal. I have recently swept through my library and pitched books that I had no intention of re-reading or that had no sentimental value, and we regularly check the entire house for anything we no longer need that the VOA would want.

You have a better use than me. I had paystubs from like 2007. Thanks for reading!

My spouse had all our joint and individual royalty statement going back to the 90s and we cleared those out recently. It was cleansing.
