Bought a paper shredder today. Yes, what's a former auditor & current CPA to do without his trusty shredder? ;-) What I learned from Enron? To shred things earlier =P. Seriously though, a paper shredder is a necessity in this day and age of identity theft. You don't want people to obtain your address, your account numbers, your social security numbers by browsing through your mail or other documents that you just were to lazy to shred. In my mind, a great investment!
