Net Worth Over Account Balances
๐ก Tip of the Week
Your 401(k) and IRA totals give only a partial view. Net worth adds home equity minus any mortgage, taxable brokerage accounts, and subtracts all debts like car loans or credit cards. Someone with $450,000 in retirement accounts but $180,000 in home equity and low debt is further ahead than a peer with the same retirement savings and $120,000 in consumer debt. RetirePro links these items automatically so your monthly net worth number reflects reality without extra work.
๐ฏ Inside RetirePro
