This is the first time I will have actually added up everything on paper to find my net worth. All assets and liabilities listed in one place.
So I opened an Excel spreadsheet,
titled it Networth-Nov 2021 and...
Got distracted doing something else.
It took another day before I came back to it, but I left it open on my desktop waiting for me, so I could start listing assets right away.
Then it was time to plug in the numbers, which means logging into accounts to find out what's in there, and... so many passwords.
Time to do something else!
Small things like not knowing where or what your passwords are can be the reason you don't know your net worth.
This week: If you don't have a system for keeping your passwords safe, but accessible to you, find one. This is one of the gifts that keeps on giving.
