I keep all of our papers in a small filing crate in the little room under the stairs. I've never taken particularly good care of them, for instance, the papers from my first divorce are water damaged, but I like to know where things are when I need them so I keep them well organized.
My boyfriend's papers, from before we got together, are all stacked inside of a plastic box in the garage and it's a major ordeal anytime he needs to find something in there. I hate that feeling (doubting whether I will be able to find what I need) thus I learned to start filing them about ten years ago. But that's the extent of it.
