Key insights
Net worth ≠ liquid wealth
Home equity, retirement accounts, and business value are real but illiquid. Make sure your LIQUID emergency fund (3-6 months expenses) is separate from this number.
Compound growth, not luck
Net worth grows fastest in your 50s/60s as compounding catches up with steady contributions. The first $100K is the hardest; the next million is mostly market growth.
The Stanley-Danko PAW formula
Expected net worth ≈ age × pre-tax annual income ÷ 10. PAW = "Prodigious Accumulator of Wealth" = above 2× expected. UAW = "Under Accumulator" = below 0.5× expected.
Recommended actions(5)
Attack high-interest debt first
High priorityCredit cards (20%+) and personal loans (12%+) destroy wealth-building. Use the debt-avalanche method (highest APR first) until those are cleared.
Impact: Each dollar of high-APR debt eliminated is a guaranteed return at that APR.
Max your 401(k) employer match before anything else
High priorityFree money. If you don't capture the full match, you're leaving 50-100% returns on the table.
Impact: A 5% match on an $80K salary = $4,000/yr in free contributions, compounding for the rest of your career.
Track net worth quarterly
High priorityUse a spreadsheet, Personal Capital, or Monarch Money. Tracking creates accountability — what gets measured gets improved.
Impact: People who track net worth quarterly grow it ~50% faster than those who track annually or not at all (multiple wealth studies).
