Families sometimes don’t track their finances at all, while others track income, bank balances, investment accounts, home values, or the performance of a particular asset. Those numbers matter, but they do not tell the whole story.

The most comprehensive financial metric is net worth.

Net worth is everything you own minus everything you owe. It is the simplest snapshot of where you stand financially at a specific point in time. It does not tell the whole story of your financial life, but it provides context for almost every financial decision.
