Understanding Your Net Worth
What Is Net Worth?
Net worth is the difference between what you own (assets) and what you owe (liabilities). It's a snapshot of your financial position at a specific point in time.
About Assets
Assets are things you own that have monetary value. They include cash, investments, property, and personal possessions that could be sold for cash.
About Liabilities
Liabilities are debts or obligations you owe to others. These include mortgages, loans, credit card balances, and any other forms of debt.
Why Track Net Worth?
Tracking your net worth over time helps you measure financial progress, identify areas for improvement, and make better decisions about saving, spending, and investing.
