Net Worth is everything you own (assets) minus everything you owe (liabilities). The single best long-term scoreboard for personal finance.
Why it matters for your money
Terms like this aren't trivia — each one encodes a decision you'll face. Understanding net worth means you can act deliberately where most people default to whatever the bank, app or salesperson suggests.
A concrete example
For a household spending ₹40,000 a month, getting this right is worth ₹24,000–₹60,000 a year.
Track it, don't memorise it
The practical version of net worth shows up in your own numbers. An offline tracker gives you the categories, caps and trends to see it — privately, with no account or bank linking.
