I agree with your decision not to include the house and other illiquid assets, but then to be fair, you should also exclude long-term debt associated with those assets (except for the portion due within one year). It would also be helpful to calculate it both ways: one with all the illiquid stuff, and the other without it.

Do you know how much consistency there is among the blogs you’ve listed here?

Cash is king…. but in periods of inflation/hyperinflation I would certainly feel comfortable with holding as many appreciating and income producing assets as possible…

Shout out to Jeff from Deliver Away Debt for killing it percentage wise! By July 4th, you will have a positive net worth, yes? It will coincide with the end of part I of The Yakezie Challenge! .-= Financial Samurai´s last blog ..The Curse Of Making Too Much Money And Not Pursuing Your Dreams =-.

Thanks for the compilation.

My net worth shows that I am house rich but cash poor. When I started my net worth calculation, I had omitted my mortgages. However, one of the bloggers mentioned that it was not an accurate way to reflect one’s net worth. So after including my mortgages, my net worth skyrocketed. Which i like. Haaa.

WOW! Since they’re all PF bloggers, methinks you just shifted the axis of the PF world toward the blogs on the bottom of the list!

If we’re looking for inspiration and leadership, who better to learn it from than the people who have mastered it.

On the other hand, there’s so much to be said for reading the accounts of those working they’re way up.

Although I felt my increase did well this month, I see some significant increases of Net Worth in here that I wish I could be a part of. I’m in the $1,000 club while others are in the ‘millionaire club’.

Thank you, Kyle for putting this together. I rather enjoy watching the blogger NW trends.

I need to go find out how Money Blue Book and Sam are throwing their chump change in the pot. LOL.

Thanks for compiling Kyle. Cash is king! I’m a hater of all other methods, b/c it puts people in delusion illusion mode.

You don’t want to wake up when you’re retired one day and ask “Where did it all go?” due to some market downturn or what not. Everything else is play money, and that includes stocks, 401k, private equity investments, and your rental properties if you haven’t paid off the mortgage yet.

Best,

Sam
