I just save ALL receipts and file by year and month. Am surprised by how often i refer back to get information for some reason of another.
I may get back to you sometime if I feel rich about scanning and Acrobat. Currently I have an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo and use VueScan as the software. However sometimes I wish I had a better system. Keep putting off buying Acrobat. And I think my old computer (24" iMac bought in 2007). My husbands uses it for reading newspapers and listing to music on uTube. If it is dead, I'll buy a new one and he'll get my old one (2012). Hadn't planned to buy one until this fall. Oh well.
