Totally get that hesitation about going fully digital. I mean, clouds are great until they're not... I've had a few scares myself.
"felt oddly satisfying to have physical proof handy."
Exactly this—there's something reassuring about having that paper trail tucked away, especially with financial docs. Better safe than sorry, right?

Yeah, I feel this. I'm just starting to look into home equity loans, and honestly, the more I dig, the more questions pop up. Like, how long should I realistically keep these documents? Is digital enough for tax purposes, or do auditors prefer physical copies? I mean, I've heard horror stories about cloud services losing data or accounts getting locked out randomly. And with something as big as home finances and taxes, that makes me pretty nervous.
Glad I'm not the only one feeling a bit cautious here. Guess I'll keep printing stuff out for now... at least until I get a better handle on all this.
