Net Worth: Basically how your assets stack up against your debts/liabilities.
More assets than debt/ liabilities = positive net worth. GOOD
More debt/liabilities than assets = negative net worth. Bad
For the longest I had no idea what the term meant. Something about how much a net costs was my early thinking. I don’t know why I didn’t learn about it sooner.
Like my parents, I’m guilty of not teaching my kids about net worth and what it means. Now I know, and I’m going to spread the word.
