What is net worth and why should I track it?

Net worth is the total value of everything you own (assets) minus everything you owe (liabilities). It's the single best number for understanding your overall financial health. Tracking it over time helps you see if you're building wealth or falling behind, regardless of your income.

What should I include as assets?

Include all valuable items you own: cash, checking/savings accounts, investment accounts (401k, IRA, brokerage), retirement accounts, real estate equity, vehicles, and other significant possessions. Don't include personal items like furniture or clothes unless they're valuable collectibles.

What counts as liabilities?

Include all debts: mortgages, car loans, student loans, credit card balances, personal loans, and any other money you owe. The key is to be comprehensive - missing debts will inflate your net worth calculation.

How often should I update my net worth?

Most people update quarterly (every 3 months) to track progress without obsessing over daily fluctuations. Monthly tracking works if you're actively paying down debt or building wealth. Annual updates are fine for maintaining a general picture. The key is consistency.

Is a negative net worth bad?

Not necessarily! Many people start with negative net worth, especially young professionals with student loans or new homeowners with large mortgages. What matters is the trend - if your net worth is increasing year over year, you're moving in the right direction. Focus on steady progress, not the starting point.

Can I track investment growth in my net worth?

Yes! Add your investment accounts as assets with their current balance and expected growth rate. The calculator projects how your investments will grow over time, showing how compound returns impact your net worth. This is especially useful for retirement planning.
