Be sure to shred those papers before putting them in the trash can. You would be amazed at the number of documents that are mailed to you with your checking account number, social security number, credit card account number, etc.. Just tossing them in the trash can without shredding them first is akin to playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun.

Okay, oh, wise sage, then recommend me a shredder! I used to have one. Some shredders are crap, I would want to have one that would last and could do multiple pages at a time.
