Why this structure works

Household paperwork is filed once and searched years later, usually in a hurry. Grouping by life category rather than by date or document type means you look in one obvious place, and keeping identity, finance, medical, and property separate maps to how these documents are actually requested — a mortgage application needs one folder, a doctor's visit another.

Small Project Adaptation

Living alone with simple finances? Merge `04-Property` into `02-Finances` and keep identity and medical separate, since those are the two you will need at short notice.

Large Scale Scaling

For a household or family, nest each top-level folder by person, keeping shared property and utility records at the household level.
