Calculate you own Net Worth:
Add up what do you own? For example:
- Annual Income
- Savings/CDs/MoneyMarket Accounts
- Investment/Retirement Accounts
- Real Estate
Add up what do you owe? For example:
- Mortgage
- Student Loans
- Car payments
- Credit Card Debt
Subtract your liabilities from your assets. Voilà… that number is your net worth.
In case you don’t have a calculator handy, Bankrate has a comprehensive net worth calculator. The goal is to have a positive net worth. If that’s not the case, at least you now know where you stand and can start to get a grip on your finances.
