The flow chart just updates Dickens:

I do calculate my net worth, but it’s more of a ‘while I’m at it’ kind of thing. I keep track of my debts and the progress I make on them. I keep track of my accounts and the progress towards various savings goals. Put that together and you’ve got my net worth. I don’t count the value of ‘things’ in mine. If I refuse to sell something, how much is it really worth? In paper, $X, in reality, nothing.

As a twenty-something PF blogger, I’ve noticed that a lot of people like me are really interested in their net worth, but it’s not something I’m really concerned about at this point. What matters to me is making sure that I don’t carry a lot of debt, that the debt I do have is getting paid off, and that my expenditures don’t outweigh my income. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks this way. I was starting to think there was something wrong with me!

great website and I think net worth is all relative. As a young adult, it is extremely important to me, but I am sure as I age, it will not mean as much with more responsibilities or maybe not!
