Let’s start with something simple.
Most people think the more money they earn, the better off they are.
You might hear people proudly say,
“I make ₹25 lakhs a year!” or
“I just got a big promotion!”
That’s great — but it’s only part of the story.
What they don’t talk about is what really matters: how much of that money they still have.
That’s where net worth comes in.
Your salary is what you earn.
Your net worth is what you keep — after all your expenses, loans, EMIs, credit cards, and investments.
What is Net Worth (And Why It Matters)?
Your net worth is simply:
Everything you own – Everything you owe
Let’s break it down:
- 💰 Assets: Cash, bank balance, gold, mutual funds, stocks, property, FDs, EPF, etc.
- 🧾 Liabilities: Loans, credit card debt, unpaid EMIs, etc.
Let’s say:
- You have ₹10 lakhs in savings and investments ✅
- But you owe ₹4 lakhs in personal loans ❌
Then your net worth is ₹6 lakhs.
Simple, right?
Now imagine someone earning ₹30L/year but spending every rupee, vs. someone earning ₹15L/year and saving half of it.
The second person will likely have a higher net worth in just a few years.
That’s why net worth is a better measure of financial health than salary.
It tells you how financially secure and future-ready you are.
How People Manage Their Money Today
The truth is — most of us don’t track our net worth.
Instead, we:
- Check our salary slips
- Look at balances in different bank accounts
- Try to remember how much EMI or SIP is going
- Forget about old investments or insurances
- Never update anything unless there’s an emergency
We manage our money in bits and pieces.
And since everything is scattered, it’s hard to get the full picture.
We might think,
“I’m doing okay…”
But we don’t actually know if we’re growing wealth or just spending more.
And let’s be honest — spreadsheets are boring and money apps are often confusing.
