Five Minute Finance

Don’t Go with the Flow


Listen Later

Are you tired of being told to just "go with the flow"? Well, not today. In this episode, Matt Robison and I delve into why focusing on your net worth is more important than worrying about your cash flow. Have you ever scrambled to cover monthly expenses, or dipped into your investments for an unexpected charge, and felt the stress afterward? You're not alone, but these moments don’t truly reflect your financial health. We explain why net worth—your assets minus your liabilities—offers a clearer picture of your wealth. It's like the Game of Life®, where you tally up everything at the end to see how you really did. We’ll guide you through tracking your net worth, understanding its importance, and planning to keep it growing. Listen in to shift your perspective from paycheck anxiety to long-term financial stability.
