What net worth tells you that income cannot
Income measures what comes in. Net worth measures what you have built. Two people on the same salary can have wildly different net worth depending on how they spend, save, and borrow, which is why net worth is the number wealth-builders actually watch.
Add your assets: cash, savings, investments, property, and anything else of value. Then add your liabilities: loans, credit card balances, and mortgages. The difference is your net worth. It can be negative early on, and that is normal. What matters is the direction it moves over time.
Track the trend, not the snapshot
A single net worth figure is only a starting point. The value comes from updating it on the same day each month and watching the trend. A rising line means your assets are growing faster than your debts, the definition of financial progress.
If the number is flat or falling, the fix is one of two things: grow assets by saving and investing more, or shrink liabilities by paying down debt. The savings goal tracker and debt payoff tracker are built to help with exactly those two levers.
