- Ontario. M6S 1A8.
-
- The following Files must be in the same directory:
-
- WinWealt.Exe - Main Program.
-
- Getrich.WWO - How To Get Rich and Stay Rich Document.
-
- Instruct.WWO - Instructions on how to use the programs.
-
- Sample.WMS - Sample DataFile for Stocks.
-
- Sample.WMN - Sample DataFile for Net Worth.
-
-
- Instructions on how to use the programs.
-
- First: Make a backup copy of this program and keep it in a safe place.
-
- The name Fund/s is used throughout the program and holds the Company
- name of the investment whether it is in Stocks, Bonds, Mutual
- Funds or any other form of investment.
-
- Mouse: Click on the menu buttons to activate the various menus, text
- and dropdown boxes.
-
- KeyBoard: Use ALT+ the underlined letter on the button you wish to
- activate.
-
- Use the TAB key to move through the menus and the input boxes.
-
- Use ALT+DownArrow to open and close the dropdown boxes.
- These are the input boxes with a DownArrow beside them.
-
- To Scroll through the Text and Help boxes, use the PgDn and
- PgUp or UpArrow and DownArrow keys.
-
- Command Buttons:
- [OK] means yes, complete the procedure, such as add record to
- the file.
-
- [Cancel] means no, do not complete the procedure.
-
- [Exit] will quit that procedure or menu and go back to the
- previous menu.
-
- [To Printer] will send the data or text in that program to the
- Printer.
-
- Fonts: Courier font is used in the calculation tables, as it is a non-
- proportional font and allows figures in columns to lineup
- properly. You must have it installed in Windows. I use
- Coure.Fon as I have a Vga Monitor.
-
- Printing: It takes quite a while for the printer to set up for a
- printout of the 'How to Get Rich and Stay Rich' and Instruction
- files. Once printing starts you can continue to use the
- programs as printing continues from a file in memory.
-
- Sample.WMS: This is a sample DataFile which shows how various entries
- are made in the Investment Management program .
-
- Sample.WMN: This is a sample DataFile which shows how various entries
- are made in the Net Worth Program.
-
- Help: When using Help for guidance on how to input information. The
- examples, which show the different ways of entering data for
- various results, will be lined up with the input boxes beside
- them.
-
- Numerical Data Entry: Where number only input is required the program
- will not accept letters or other characters from the keyboard,
- with the exception of the backspace key to erase errors on that
- line and the Tab key which completes the entry.
-
- When entering figures, do not include dollar($) or comma(,)
- signs, the only signs that can be used are the decimal point(.)
- and the minus(-) sign.
-
- Loading Files: Select the Drive and Directory. Files with the
- extension .WMS or .WMN will be shown in the Filebox, either
- double click on the filename or enter the filename with
- extension in the Textbox and click OK.
-
- Saving Files: Select the Drive and Directory. Files with the extension
- .WMS or .WMN will be shown in the Filebox, double click on the
- filename under which you wish to save the file. If you want to
- save under a different filename make sure you clear the Textbox
- first and then enter the new filename with the appropriate
- extension in the Textbox and click OK.
-
- If you forgot the name of the file in memory, check in the
- Information box and it will be shown there.
-
- Remember that saving a file using a Filename already on your
- disk will overwrite the one on disk with the new data.
-
- Always make a backup copy of important files to another
- Drive/Dir so that if the original is lost by inadvertently
- overwriting it, you have your backup to retrieve the files.
-
- Graphs: Current Values are shown on the Bar Chart showing the
- percentage of increase over cost.
-
- Using the programs:
-
- All Menu buttons have names that clearly describe the function
- that they perform.
-
- With the aid of the examples in Help that describe how to make
- entries in the input boxes you should have no problem in
- getting your data files set up.
-
- While the Income and Retirement Calculation have pre-programmed
- figures in the dropdown boxes, you should use your own to work
- out what your savings should be to give you the income you need
- on retirement in a given period.
-
- When using Retirement Calculations, use a withdrawal of income
- percentage less than the interest/growth percentage to allow
- for inflation.
-
- Example: Inflation has been running at an average of 5% over
- the past 20 years so if one is getting a return of 20% on
- Capital and taking out 15% then one is keeping up with
- inflation as the Capital and Income are both increasing by 5%
- each year.
-
- Canadian Mortgage monthly principal and interest payments
- differ from the American Mortgage as Canadian uses semi-annual
- compounding while American uses monthly compounding periods.
-
- Book Value: Represents the total cost to you. For instance if you
- bought 100 shares of a stock for $10.00 each and paid $50.00
- commission, your book value would be $1050.00. If you then
- received a cash dividend of $100.00, the book value would be
- $950.00.
-

-

-
- Add and Edit Records.

- in the text box, press Blank Record, a blank record will be
- shown, enter data and press Save Record
-

-
- To scroll through the records. Select the Fund name and then

-

- changes will be saved.
-

- the file.
-

- loaded when required.
-
- The extension .WMS must be used with Investment DataFiles.
-

- blank spaces between categories.

- and the sub totals will be automatically calculated and shown
- on the Net Worth Statement.

- Press OK to save changes. Cancel will not save changes.
-
- Repeat the above using Edit Liabilities.
-
- Category names can be changed and values updated at any time.
-
- To have Header names for groups just enter the name in the
- name category with no value.
-
- As the layout of Net Worth is flexible it is best to plan your
