I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I never really thought about or paid much attention to our net worth until about 6 months ago. I didn’t really understand that it wasn’t just for “rich” people, and that everyone should at least have a general understanding of where they stand and where they are headed. But it’s also probably better that I didn’t, because my net worth was in the negative and that could have been very discouraging.
Now that we are almost done with our student loans, our final liability (minus our mortgages), I’m going to start using net worth as my new way to set goals and measure success and/or failure. It’s so easy to take your assets and subtract your liabilities from them. 
With getting rid of liabilities and adding a few assets, we have seen a significant increase in our net worth in the past 6 months. It’s crazy how setting goals, taking action, being consistent, tracking progress and thinking about and sharing with others can really help accelerate success.
Does anyone else geek out on net worth or am I the only one?! 🤓
