Welcome back to Max Cents’ Money Moment! 💸❤️ This week, Max wants to know: do you know what your net worth is? Your net worth is the difference between your assets and debt. This means that this number can tell you where you stand financially. If you keep an eye on it, you’ll be able to see the progress you’re making toward your goals, or you’ll be able to quickly tell if you’re starting to backslide.
