Thats the downside of living in the Bay Area I guess.

Look at the net worth calculator again. My outstanding mortgage loan is a liability.
I put down 20% but still owe the remainding 80%.
Even though the mortgage term is 30 years, it is still a liability. I'm trying to pay it off in 15 years though! Hooray for mortgage prepayment.

Net worth of your house = (home value - selling costs) - outstanding debt

So if your house is 710k and you owe 510k its 710k-510k=210k value to add towards your networth.

I looked up some other net worth calculators. This one explains everything for ignorant people like me :-)

BTW, you guys should all be using something like Quicken or MS Money. They have nice reports and graphs that show you stuff like your net worth.

I guess I read wrong.
About 175K of that is life insurance. I am acutally looking into other life linsurace options because at the company I work for we can only do 4 times our annual salary. Problem is when you are in sales my base pay is nothing.

I will be that way come November. I will have both cars paid off, and not a moment too soon as we have a little one on the way!

Whoever was the one who asked about budgeting and such before. Pear Budget (google) is an awesome, complex, free spreadsheet you can download and use. I've used it for 2 years now.

Well then, how does one go about creating a high-net worth? I know you pretty much have to own your own business, and it's something I've always wanted to do, but I'm probably the most uncreative person I know. So basically I have no idea what I would do or what I would be good at.
