The basics
Net worth is everything you own minus everything you owe, measured on one date. Cash, investments, retirement accounts, your home and your car go on one side; your mortgage, loans and card balances on the other. The difference is your net worth. It can be negative, and for many students and new graduates it is.
One number will not tell you everything, but tracking it once or twice a year shows whether your saving, investing and debt repayment are moving you forward.
