article: See the first step in the previous section for instructions on opening this menu. Your active plan will have the selection button highlighted. This will open a smaller Power Options window. This will allow you to change your Sleep settings. There are three basic sleep options you can choose from: Sleep, Hibernate, and Hybrid Sleep. The one you choose will depend on your power and resuming needs. Sleep - Sleep mode stores all of your open programs in the computer's RAM and then enters a low-power mode. You can quickly resume your computer within a few seconds. If you're using a laptop, this will still drain your battery, though much slower than if the computer was use. Hibernate - All of your open programs are stored to the hard disk and then the computer is completely shut down. This will draw zero power, as opposed to Sleep mode which has a small power draw. You'll still be able to resume your week like Sleep mode, but starting up will take a few seconds longer. Hybrid Sleep - This is a combination of Sleep and Hibernate, and is designed for desktop computers that are always plugged in. The open programs and documents are stored to both the memroy6 and the hard disk, and then the computer is put into a low-power state. In the case of a power outage or interruption, you can still resume because the data was stored on the hard disk. This will let you set how long your computer will idle before it switches to Hibernate. If you don't see the "Hibernate after" option, click the "Change settings that are currently unavailable" link at the top of the window. You may be prompted for the administrator password. Consider using Hybrid Sleep if you have a desktop instead of Hibernate. Your desktop will reboot faster, but it will take slightly more power than Hibernate. You can enable Hybrid Sleep by expanding the "Allow hybrid sleep" option. These two will conflict with each other, so expand "Sleep after" and set it to "Never" if you enabled Hibernate in the previous step. Apply to save your changes. After your computer has been inactive for the time you specified, your computer will perform the Sleep or Hibernate action you set.

article: " Most people have an idea of things they think others expect of them versus the things they actually want. You may feel you should be more organized, you should go back to college, or you should settle down and get married. But all those shoulds won't get you anywhere if you have no drive to do them. If you do manage to do them, the energy may wane and then you're back to the starting point five or 10 years down the line. Get rid of your shoulds now so you can focus instead on what you want. Most people have trouble seeing which urges are shoulds and which are wants. Take a moment to figure out which is which. What do you actually want? What do you feel like the rest of the world wants you to do? Are you feeling pressure from your parents, your community, society, or peers to do something they feel you should do, but you don't feel passionate about? All people have intangible, abstract fears. Many people are afraid people aren't going to like or respect them, that they're going to be broke, that they won't find a job, have friends, or that they'll end up alone. To get at what you want, erase all of those for just a second. Fear can control you and keep you from what you want. Make a list of all the things you want despite your fears. What would you do if you weren't afraid of what people thought, afraid of money, or afraid of getting hurt? You probably already know what dissatisfies you. Almost everyone is better at complaining than they are fixing it. By identifying the places in your life where you feel dissatisfied, you can begin to strategize how to change or eliminate those things. Make a list of what makes you unhappy. Why are you dissatisfied? What is it that you're craving? What would make things better? Write down the answers to these questions. For example, think about your job. If you hate your job, it may be possible that you don't hate the job, but only hate aspects of it. Those aspects need isolating. What things would you change if you could? How might that change your outlook? Simply identifying dissatisfying elements of your life won't make them better. Once you've made this list, you need to start thinking about if these are things over which you have some control, and what you can do to change them or remove them from your life. If you hate your job, maybe you need to start figuring out how to find a new position. Or, if it's simply certain aspects of your job you don't like, brainstorm ways to improve those things and talk to you boss about implementing some new ideas.

Include investments and retirement accounts. Total up retirement account balances. Determine your home's value. Estimate the value of everything in your home. Consider your car's value. Consider any other types of assets."

Before calculating net worth, it is important to know what it is, and its purpose. The easiest way to define net worth is that it is what you own, minus what you owe. Net worth is how much you would have left over if you were to take everything you own, sell it, and use the proceeds to pay off what you owe. Your net worth gives you a good idea of your overall wealth and the health of your financial situation. For example, if you have plenty of debt, and own very little, your net worth would be negative, which means your financial situation may not be healthy. This is because if you own a $1,000 computer for example, but owe $20,000 in debt, if you subtract what you owe (the debt) from what you own (the computer), you still owe $19,000. Because you owe $19,000, your net worth would be -$19,000. On the other hand, if you own a home worth $100,000, a car worth $20,000, and have a $50,000 mortgage, your net worth would be a positive $70,000 (or $120,000 of assets minus your $50,000 mortgage liability). What you own is also known as your assets. This component of calculating net worth really is as simple and possibly daunting as making a dollar value estimate of everything you own, from the car you drive to the contents of your sock drawer. Don't worry yet about determining the amount you owe on things like your house or car; that work will come with your liabilities. The focus now is on establishing the market value of your possessions. That is to say, how much your possessions would sell for if you were able to sell them today. Start your asset counting by making an outline with the following categories: Cash & Cash Equivalents. Investments Retirement Funds. Home. Home furnishings and valuables. Automobiles. Other. Cash is a type of asset. This includes the contents of your bank accounts (like checking, savings, or High Interest Savings Accounts), any physical cash you have on hand, or any cash in investment accounts. Let's say, for example, that you have $3,000 in your checking account and $17,000 in your savings account, for a grand total of $20,000 in cash (running total: $20,000). Be careful not to count the value of investments as cash. For example, if you have a Roth IRA account with a mutual fund worth $5,000 in it, do not count that mutual fund as cash, because it is an investment. Perhaps your parents bought you a policy as a kid, or you signed up for one yourself or through work. If it is a whole life policy that builds cash value, then that cash value is part of your assets. If you own a whole life insurance policy, there are two values linked to it cash value and face value. When you pay premiums, part of the premium goes to paying the cost of insurance, and the remainder goes into a cash fund. The value of the cash fund is known as the cash value. The face value is the amount your family receives if you were to die (or the cost of the insurance). If you were to close the policy early, you would receive the cash value. Count cash value the amount you would receive if you closed out the policy not the face value, as being an asset. The cash value of a whole life policy typically builds up slowly to the point where it equals the face value once you reach the end of the mortality table used to establish your policy (often at age 100). Whether you have a substantial portfolio or have just started investing, the current dollar value of such investments is another portion of your overall assets. Investments include things like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or exchange traded funds. Let's imagine that you have $5,000 an investment account. This would give you a running total of $25,000 in assets. Note that running total simple means adding up everything we have so far, so $20,000 in cash plus $5,000 in investments equals $25,000 of total assets. As you are more than likely dealing with hypotheticals and not actually "cashing out" your assets, it is probably unnecessary to factor in any withdrawal penalties for removing funds from an investment account. But it can't hurt to be familiar with the details of any penalties you may face in the future. If you have a defined contribution account with your employer, like a 401(k) or 403(b), or an individual retirement plan like an IRA or Roth IRA, these count towards your assets. These are separate from investments, as they cannot be easily liquidated. For example, imagine you have $15,000 in a 401(k) account with your employer. This bring your running asset total to $25,000 + $15,000, or $40,000. This is where things get a bit more speculative. Instead of counting up funds, you have to make a best guess about the value of what is likely your most valuable possession your home. You need to establish the fair market value for your home the amount you could expect to fetch for it if you put it on the market. The most common way to do so is by finding the sale prices for comparable properties, which are those similar in location, size, age, condition, style, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, etc. How to Determine Market Value for Your Home offers many ideas on identifying "comps" and establishing market value, including: consulting newspapers, real estate websites, and local tax offices/websites; talking with a real estate agent; and having an appraiser do the estimating for you. For this exercise, we will say that your home is valued at $150,000 (running total: $190,000). This is likely to involve even more speculating and estimating. You will probably be surprised by the amount you get, as the average single renter in the U.S. usually has $20,000$30,000 in such personal property. One of the best tips to estimate the value of things in your home is to search the item on Google.com or Kijiji.com to see what the used item is selling for on the market. This is a useful exercise not only for determining your net worth, but also for figuring out how much renter's or homeowner's insurance you should carry. Having a detailed list of your possessions including photos, if possible will also come in handy if you ever need to file a claim. For insurance purposes, you probably want to determine the replacement value for your things what it would cost to actually replace them. For your net worth, however, you simply want to establish the market value what someone would pay for them as is. For instance, you might be able to sell your five-year-old TV for $100, but replacing it with a comparable new one might cost $250. We'll pretend your household possessions add up to $25,000, for a running total of $215,000. Be careful not to double-count anything. For example, you have already estimated the value of your home, therefore, you need to make sure that anything that was part of your home value is also not added to your list of valuables in your home. Generally speaking, if it is not staying in your home when you sell it, you can add it your list of valuables in your home. Again, this involves some guesswork, but thankfully there are numerous resources for establishing the market value for automobiles. The traditional "blue book" for car valuations is now more easily utilized online, along with many competing car valuation and/or car-buying sites. You can also ask a car dealer for an estimate; if he or she has any inkling that you may want to buy a car, a dealer will likely be happy to do this for you. For our sample running total, let's add $25,000 for your car to make it $240,000. Remember if you own it, it is an asset. You may have some debt on that asset (like a car you borrowed money to own for example), but that debt will be subtracted later on in the net worth calculation. Don't forget to include the value of any business you may own for example, or any additional property (like a cottage).
