Net Worth: Complete Guide

What is Net Worth

Net worth is total assets minus total liabilities. It is the single best measure of overall financial health.

Average by Age

Median US net worth: under 35 (~$14K), 35-44 (~$91K), 45-54 (~$169K), 55-64 (~$213K), 65-74 (~$266K).

How to Grow

Increase assets (higher income, consistent investing) and decrease liabilities (pay down high-interest debt).

Practical Example

Liabilities: Mortgage $200K + Student $30K + Cards $5K + Other $10K = $245,000.
