    This is purely for insight–not for bragging or feeling deflated.

    So, what's your net worth (include the lot, not just property equity).

    Formula is simple:

    Assets minus liabilities = net worth.

    Feel free to share details (e.g. your age) or simply vote :)

    Edit: If you're a couple and share assets/liabilities, use your share.

    A little short of $400k at the moment.

    Included in that total are:
    • PPOR
    • IPs
    • Stock market holdings
    • Cash
    • Superannuation
    I started tracking my net worth on a monthly basis about 2.5 years ago, prior to purchasing our first IP. At that time it was just over $100k. So a 252% return in that time :cool:

    Was flying along for a time there; got to $1mill about 2010.

    Gone backwards ever since (bought the workshop in 09), and wouldn't know what it is now.

    Rough guesses;

    PPoR - worth approx $1.5m (hope to sell it for that)
    IP - worth approx $210k
    Workshop - worthless?
    Total Debt - $1.05mill

    Just had to change my vote, I forgot about Super (Thanks aussieshorter :)).

    No IP's yet, PPOR + Super only so far puts me around the 500 mark

    Combined amount or split in 2 if you're a couple?

    My wife and I are in our early 30's and sold our PPOR last year and made a bit on it. We also have 2 IP's in Sydney. Together we are on 950k, excluding super as I don't know what it's at.

    Too embarrassing to disclose.

    Forgot to add Super, but I don't count that...it's a nothing savings plan, and wiped out at the next stock market crash...should be along shortly.

    I thought I'd post my dismal performance early so noone would feel bad about their achievements or lack thereof?

    Go for it - noone will think less of you.

    The only ones not needing to post are those who have been "telephone numbering" over at SS for ages, and have a sudden rush of blood and feel they have to post the truth on this forum instead - which would see them discovered as frauds. (not likely, but you never know),

    Or those who have been avoiding disclosing a lot of goodies to the relevant authorities over the years, and who also have that same rush of truth serum...also not likely.

    Thanks for the tip, Sanj.

    I'm 54.

    However, I have enough trouble just servicing and paying down existing loan and tax debt; can't afford any extra dollars to be diverted anywhere else currently....hence trying to sell our house.

    I have an industry Super fund which I begrudgingly put the minimum into as per my Super Guarantee commitments through the Company.

    I also direct as many purchases of parts and materials towards our industry buying group/association, which gives me points for each dollar spent. These points can be used to pay your supplier bills, or can be converted into shares in that Company, which pay dividends - last 2 years averaged 16% per year. Not too bad for money I didn't have to actually put in out of my own pocket.

    I then re-invest the dividends back into more shares each year. So, this is my "superannuation fund".

    Net worth?

    Less than a year's gross pay.

    Depressing right? (Or is it?)

    I'm 35.

    Never worked it out until now. $1.149m. However if I was to sell I would have to factor in selling cost, tax, etc. I wouldn't have too much left!

    Split if you share assets/income.

    I'll adjust original post to clarify.

    I didn't split so in my case divide my figure by 2.

    I set the poll so users can edit.

    (Made sense since this is likely to increase over time, for most of us)
