Financial clutter

Since I am switching banks-I signed up yesterday Fifth Third and started switching my bill payments over. I was going through files, and the pile of unopened mail DH "forgot" to give me.(I think he misplaced it). I found 2 furniture store credit cards and 1 other credit card company new cards in the mail.....apparently 3 accounts I thought I closed were still open because our previously destroyed cards had expired so they sent new ones.
As part of my switchover I was setting up my bills to be paid online from the bank account I decided to close out those unused accounts. We don't need them obviously, and it's not going to hurt our credit much since we're not looking for loans anytime soon. I'd rather not have to deal with them.

Tonight I'm tackling- All financial files. I want to clean out the filing cabinet, review retirement funds, savings account info etc. I think I want to change my filing system to categories rather than names of places in alphabetical order.
