There's definitely good reason to keep the email receipt, in case you ever need proof of purchase, but is there any sense in printing at all?

What about pay stubs? My new employer does not give us physical ones, they are online. Is there any point in printing a hard copy?

I keep my emails .... pretty much every email except for spam for about the last 5 or 6 years is saved. Once they are 5+ years old ... I'll weed through and delete crap ....

Depends, usually keep them. Sometimes I'll print if rebate or something pricey.

So what about those pay stubs? Online copy enough or should I be printing a hard copy as well?

Keep the emails and don't print (I put them in their own folder and delete them after a year or so.)

I don't do anything with email recepits, but with web page receipts, I print them to pdf and hold onto them for a bit. (I don't print them out because I don't have paper filing system that I will keep up with... I'm lazy.)
