I bought a couple of accordian folders at my local dollar store, and I keep everything stored in them. One folder is for monthly bills. The other one is for important papers that come up occasionally, such as furnace maintenance and house insurance.

The folders even come with labels so that each compartment can be used for just one type of bill. Always add the newest bill to the front of the section.

You could also try keeping all UNPAID bills in one folder (make sure it is a prominant colour like red or yellow), and then switch them over to the other folder (in a calm colour like blue or green) when they are paid.
