Basic Steps

1. Load home inventory. Enter assets you already own using the "Home Inventory" page.
   
   
2. Load receipts. When you buy new assets, update your inventory using the "Receipts" page.
   
   
3. (Optional) Run the Total Asset Value Report. Use this report to buy insurance and to record your assets for insurance claims.
   
   
4. (Optional) Run the Saleable Assets Report and consider selling some of your assets using the Asset Seller or other means.

Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert Use

You can choose how deeply and broadly you use MakeLifeEasy. You can dive in head first, or ease in slowly.

For managing durables, you can choose how many assets to manage (the breadth) and which features to use (the depth), as shown here. It really depends on whether your primary purpose is to record your inventory (say, for insurance purposes) or to sell assets. If your purpose is to record inventory, you'll probably want to enter most or all of your durable assets, but you won't bother with the selling features. If your purpose is to have certain assets up for possible sale, you'd enter those assets and use the selling features. But if you're going to do one, why not just do both? Whether you're recording your inventory, or entering specific assets for resale, why not be open-minded, and consider that most of what you own might be for sale, at the right price? It's easy to do once you've entered your assets.
