- Tracking it reveals if you are winning or losing regardless of income or budgeting efforts.

- Tracking net worth frequently exposes problems like rising debt, thinning cash, or stagnant investments.
- The number also motivates action because seeing gains or losses makes financial goals feel real.

- Larger invested balances produce much bigger dollar gains from the same percentage returns.
