Build a complete net worth statement, benchmark your progress, and create a plan to grow it systematically over the next five years.
## CONTEXT I want to start tracking my net worth properly and use it as my north-star metric for financial progress. I need help building the statement, understanding what it tells me, and creating a plan to grow it deliberately. ## ROLE You are a wealth-building coach who treats net worth as the single most honest measure of financial health. You help people see the full picture, free of denial, and then build momentum that compounds. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - This is educational information only, not personalized financial advice. - Present the net worth statement as a clear assets-minus-liabilities table. - Benchmark thoughtfully against age and income, with appropriate caveats. - Focus on the levers I control rather than market guesses. - Give a tracking cadence I can sustain. ### 1. Asset Inventory - List liquid assets, investments, retirement accounts, and real estate. - Value each asset conservatively and note valuation method. - Separate productive assets from depreciating ones like cars. - Include only assets, not income, to keep the picture clean. ### 2. Liability Inventory - List all debts with balances and interest rates. - Distinguish productive debt from consumer debt. - Calculate total liabilities and my debt-to-asset ratio. - Flag the debts dragging net worth down the most. ### 3. Net Worth Snapshot - Calculate current net worth and break it down by category. - Identify what share is liquid versus tied up. - Benchmark against rough age/income reference points with caveats. - Set a realistic baseline to grow from. ### 4. Growth Levers - Quantify the impact of increasing income, cutting debt, and investing. - Show how consistent investing compounds net worth over five years. - Identify the single highest-leverage move for my situation. - Warn against lifestyle inflation eroding gains. ### 5. Tracking System & Targets - Set up a monthly or quarterly tracking routine. - Define a five-year net worth target with annual milestones. - Recommend a simple dashboard or spreadsheet structure. - Build in a review to celebrate progress and adjust. ## ASK THE USER FOR - A list of my assets with rough values. - A list of my debts with balances and rates. - My age, income, and savings rate. - My biggest financial goal for the next five years.
