+1 for Google Drive, I actually scan and keep all my documentation (receipts, statements, scans of documents like passports, driving licenses, etc) by year and rough category and share the entire folder with my wife so she can do the same for electronic receipts etc. I then shred and dispose of all but the most critical documents for which originals may be required (certificates etc).

This way I can use Alfred/Spotlight to search both by name as well as searching through the content for OCR’ed PDFs.

Overall the system has been working pretty well for about 10yrs now but I wouldn’t mind OCR’ing some of the earlier documents for easier search.
