Your net worth is the single best snapshot of your financial health. It is everything you own minus everything you owe.
Net Worth = Total Assets − Total Liabilities
Assets: ,000 savings + ,000 retirement + 0,000 home = 0,000. Liabilities: 0,000 mortgage + ,000 car loan + ,000 credit cards = 0,000. Net worth = 0,000.
Track it annually to see if you are moving forward. A negative net worth means you owe more than you own. Growing net worth signals financial progress even if income fluctuates.
