Your net worth \u2014\u00a0i.e. your assets minus your liabilities \u2014 is by no means the sole indicator of your financial well-being or the most important determinant for financial advice. But it does represent where you stand financially, at least in terms of what you own and what you owe.<\/span><\/p>\n

While measuring financial status based on a single metric can be reductive, calculating your net worth \u2014 and separately considering other aspects like your emergency plan, cashflow, risk appetite, etc. \u2014 is a good starting point for putting a financial plan in place. People are generally more aware of assets than liabilities, or neglect that some assets are funded by and tied up with liabilities. We often come across people wanting to retire early or upgrade their lifestyle, and while it\u2019s good to be optimistic, knowing your net worth gives you a more realistic perspective on what\u2019s needed to get you there \u2014 together, we can then take a call on setting short-term goals or shifting them to the long-term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve found that some reasons people remain unaware of their net worth are that the process of collecting data seems daunting and that they\u2019re not sure about how to calculate net worth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But knowing this figure is important. In the process of figuring out the ratio of your assets to liabilities, you\u2019ll get an idea of the liquid or illiquid assets you hold, whether your assets are adequately diversified (across real estate, equity, and so on) and what the nature of your liabilities is (are they good liabilities that help you build an asset over time, personal loans that need to be paid off in the short-term, or regular EMI payments?). Essentially, your net worth indicates how you\u2019re going about your asset allocation and liability planning. It tells us something about you, and where we need to intervene.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Financial Wellness Plan we create for our members, after an introduction to our mission, process and approach towards financial planning, we not only show you the current trajectory of your net worth \u2014 assuming you continue your present approach towards managing your money \u2014 but also give you a trajectory of what your net worth could be if you plan your finances effectively. The latter is not a guarantee of any sort of course; it simply predicts where you could possibly reach if you handle your assets, liabilities and emergency plan more efficiently. In other words, it shows you the potential for a better financial future and helps us work on the scope for improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

People generally think of net worth as an indicator of financial well-being, but at 1 Finance, we allocate a financial behaviour score to you, which is a more accurate and holistic representation of where you are on the spectrum ranging from financial independence to financial freedom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s this idea that only people whose net worth is hitting the roof need financial advice \u2014 but everyone, regardless of where they are on their wealth creation journey, can benefit from a helping hand and an unbiased lens on their finances. We don\u2019t offer financial advice based solely on your current net worth since that gives a very limited view of things, we don\u2019t make misleading promises of growing your net worth exponentially, and our suggestions are not targeted towards increasing net worth but enhancing financial well-being. However, we do believe that knowing your net worth is important \u2014 it gives you clarity on where you stand and where you need to reach, and it offers us some insight on getting you there. It underlines why financial planning is essential for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
