What should I do before I get rid of my old computer?

Q: I just bought a new laptop, and I want to make sure Iâm not passing along all my data if I give away my old one. I found instructions for wiping my computer on your website. Is that all I need to do?

A: Your computer contains so much private information, and youâre right to want to wipe it before you pass the machine along to its next user. But first, you need to back up all your data. The easiest, quickest way to make sure you get every document, photo and video is with my sponsor, IDrive. For less than $7 for your first year, you get 5 terabytes of cloud space. That should be all you need and more.

Iâm overwhelmed with all these programs (and bills)

Q: I have all these different pieces of software to run my business, and I can hardly keep them straight. Is there a way to simplify and still keep all the features I need?

A: Running a business is complicated, and the more you can streamline, the better. NetSuite lets you manage all the things you need from your business software â and I know thatâs a lot â in one system. Theyâve got software and services for just about everything, including finances, operations and customer relations. Visit NetSuite.com to see how they can help you grow your business and maybe even save some money each month.

Whatâs the best way to keep an eye on the kids?

Q: My kids are old enough to stay home alone now, but I still worry about them if Iâm gone very long. I want to keep an eye on them without having to call or text constantly. What do you suggest?

A: A video-monitoring service is the way to go. You can pop into the app to check on the kids whenever you want. And even better, they wonât know youâre doing it â so you can make sure theyâre really getting ready for bed on time. I trust my sponsor SimpliSafe to protect me and my family, and you will too. Their around-the-clock monitoring ensures police are on the way when you need them, plus SimpliSafe is completely wireless and there's no long-term contract or hidden fees.
