“Net worth is a financial metric that offers a snapshot of an individual’s or entity’s financial health. It’s calculated by subtracting total liabilities from total assets, representing the residual value if all debts were paid off. Net worth isn’t just about wealth; it reflects one’s financial stability and can serve as a gauge for setting long-term financial goals. Remember, while net worth provides valuable insights, it’s important to consider other factors like income, expenses, and investment strategies when evaluating overall financial well-being.”
