Freedom Filer?

Hey, all. I came across Freedom Filer several times at different places in the past little while. The promises sound nice, but I can't convince myself (let alone the wife!) to spend more than $40 for what amounts to a set of preprinted labels.

Has anyone bought a Freedom Filer system? Care to share any insights about it? Any thoughts about how to RYO (roll your own) for cheaper?

Diy?

It looks like a good idea. My clients often ask me about record retention, and it's hard to give them specific information about how long to keep which kind of records. This goes a long way to making it painless. I'd like to get the kit, but first I'll try setting it up myself and see how it works out.

There's an info page that goes into more depth--very helpful.
