If you’ve never looked into determining your net worth, I’d suggest using this net worth calculator from Forbes to give it a try.
Knowing your net worth is important because it is a straightforward determination of your wealth versus your liabilities. This is helpful because it shows you directly how much you’re bringing in versus how much you’re spending. If your net worth is negative, consider changing your spending habits. Try switching your “buy now, save later” mindset into a “save now, buy later” mindset.
It won’t grow overnight, but focusing on getting rid of your debt and building your savings will allow you to improve your net worth over time.
