how long to keep documents

I understand that I should keep our certificate of discharge indefinitely, but how long should I keep my other financial documents, related to the bankruptcy? I have all of the original loan documents, and the last credit card statements in a file with our other bankruptcy documents but wonder if I really need to be keeping these things.
