<prompt> Human: Im wondering how most people choose to receive their statements. My dad has all his statements come in by mail since he doesnt use the computer much and has to keep track of additional expenses since hes self employed. I am just a student with a credit card so Im considering just going paperless.Also, how long should statements be kept? My bank will have statements available for 36 months, and they use some weird format with some software called quickbooks so I dont feel like downloading them.  <response>: In this day and age? I really think not.I used to keep paper records for 7 years. Once most every service went digital, I did away with a lot of paperwork. I still keep tax records and major papers titles, etc, indefinitely however.
