Net Worth

Net worth is the total value of everything you own (assets) minus everything you owe (liabilities). It's the single best snapshot of your overall financial health.

Why it matters

Tracking net worth over time reveals whether you're actually building wealth or just earning and spending. A high income means little if debt grows faster than savings. Watching the trend line — not just the number — tells you if your financial decisions are working.

Example

If you have $50,000 in savings, $15,000 in investments, and owe $20,000 on student loans and $5,000 on a credit card, your net worth is $40,000.
