Net Worth

Your net worth is the total of all your assets (cash, investments, house, etc.) minus the total of all your liabilities/debts (credit card debt, student loans, car loan, mortgage, etc...). If you've been following along you've noticed that I update my net worth monthly for everyone to see. It's a good way to keep track of your progress along the path of paying off debts to saving to investing to financial independence.

It can be pretty eye opening as it was for him to realize you've been around for 20+ years and would have nothing to show for it if you completely liquidated everything.
