Net worth is the total value of everything you own (assets) minus everything you owe (liabilities). It's a snapshot of your financial health at any point in time.
Understanding net worth early helps you build good money habits — spending less than you earn, saving regularly, and avoiding unnecessary debt. Starting young gives you a massive head start.
Assets include savings in a bank account, valuables like a phone or laptop, money owed to you, or any investment. Even small amounts count — the habit of tracking matters more than the number.
Two ways: increase assets (save more, earn more) and decrease liabilities (pay off debts, avoid borrowing). Consistent small steps compound into big results over time.
