Net worth

Let's go back to numbers here though.

So, so where is your net worth today?

Okay.

So my net worth, considering also my house equity, it's probably a little bit more than this, just for the sake of my last appraisal.

That's what I'm putting it at is $1,076,221.

The double comma club.

So

it's interesting because you're married and you're planning on having a family, but you handle your finances separately.

Outside of that, I also do content creation about personal finance, but more broadly, what it means to be an independent woman who is charting her own path.

So my current net worth is £385,000.

I've got about 125K within my ISAs, and then I have 10K in premium bonds.

Don't even ask me about them.

And then I also came back to a contract based role.

I was like, actually, if I want to save and replenish what I've spent then it probably makes sense for me to stay home and also just just like find my footing again um back in the working world so it's worked really well for me so far but I probably you know will move out um later this year once I hit my goal

separate to the 100k that you want to save you also have other investments as well yes so if you're comfortable to say what is your current net worth and what is it invested in

Sure thing.

It's happening before you see the funds in your account and that can remove the temptation to spend that money instead of saving or investing it to achieve your financial goals.

You can create a seven-figure net worth by regularly investing a modest amount over a long period.

For instance, if you invest $400 a month, starting at 25, with a 7% average return on that investment, you'd have over a million dollars by age 65.

So that's the power of creating and sticking with a relatively small financial habit.

Life is about balance, not deprivation.

But if you're only making minimum payments on high-interest credit cards, push yourself to stop making new charges and to send progressively higher payments each month.

Getting expensive debt under control is essential for building a high net worth.

Remember that eliminating a 20% APR credit card is like getting a guaranteed 20% return on your money after taxes.

Fuck you, bro.

Your net worth was posted the other day, and they claim that you have 40 M's.

That's what they say online.

Is

I'm actually kind of curious about this too.

Wait, higher? No.

Wait, 60? You see like the little twinkle in her eyes when she hears the net worth going up? Wait, that doesn't

impress, I'm not going to date you though.

And yet you seem to find that it's not at all connected with a person's comforts.

I did not study about levels of wealth and levels of people's affluence, but I would submit and I would not be surprised that one's affluence and one's net worth has really nothing to do with this issue.

I would even go further and say that perhaps the more material success a person may have, that material growth or material possessions is not just an indicator but could actually be a cause of creating more despair.

I'm going to qualify something here.

So my talk would have usually been 50 to 100 people.

It ended up being hundreds of people came for the lunch talk that I gave.

And completely unknown to us, it was titled, Is Your Self-Worth Defined by Your Net Worth? And the title tells it all.

And that's what I spoke about.
