KEEP YOUR EARNINGS RECORDS FOREVER!
Eventually everyone will want to confirm their earnings records with data at Social Security. If there are errors and you do not have proof of earnings you will be S.O.L.

Trust this advice… I worked for SSA for over 15 years and have had to try to reconcile my own earnings records. You just HAVE TO keep these records unless you are willing to be a victim of record keeping errors or the failure of long-past employers who failed to report your earnings to SSA.

This “keep for 7 years” advice is wrong but is still spread by virtually all financial advisors.

Hi Jan, I maintain an Excel file to track all my online earnings. Not only does it give me a record of all my internet income, but it also provides a way for me to monitor and evaluate what works for me and what doesn’t. And then of course, all the online income gets an entry inside my personal ledger.

Very comprehensive post. It just occurred to me – is there a special folder or envelope for records of online earnings such as from adsense, kontera, etc?

Hi Mighty, yes I agree, there’s really a sense of self-fulfillment when you understand how cash flows through your life. And it’s very rewarding as time goes.

Salamat sa pag-comment.
