What counts as an asset versus a liability in this calculation?+
Assets are everything you own with monetary value, such as cash, investments, retirement accounts, and property. Liabilities are everything you owe, including mortgages, loans, and credit card balances. Net worth is simply assets minus liabilities.
Should I include my car or personal belongings as assets?+
You can, using a realistic resale value rather than the purchase price, but many people exclude depreciating personal items since they aren't meant to be sold and their value estimate is often unreliable and quickly outdated.
Why did my net worth drop even though I didn't spend more money?+
Net worth includes the market value of investments and property, so a decline in stock prices or home values can lower your net worth on paper even if your cash flow and spending habits haven't changed at all.
Is a negative net worth necessarily a bad sign?+
Not always. It's common early in adulthood, especially with student loans or a recent mortgage, and what matters more is the trend over time — a net worth that is steadily improving is a healthier signal than a single snapshot.
How often should I recalculate my net worth?+
Quarterly or annually is typical for most people, since asset values and balances don't need daily tracking; checking too frequently can also make normal market fluctuations feel more significant than they actually are.
