How High-Income Professionals Should Think About Net Worth - WCI Financial Boot Camp

Net worth is one of the most common financial metrics, but many people misunderstand what should and should not be included in the calculation. In this Financial Boot Camp episode, we explain what net worth means, what assets and liabilities belong in the calculation, and how net worth differs from investable assets. Understanding these distinctions can help physicians and other high-income professionals track financial progress more accurately and make better long-term decisions. We know finances can be complicated, especially when you are just beginning your journey to financial literacy. When you listen to the Financial Boot Camp Podcast, you'll learn the basics of money—how to earn more of it, how to save more of it, how and why to invest more of it; and, yes, how to safely spend more of it. Consider the Financial Boot Camp Podcast as your weekly Finance 101 class to learn what they didn't teach you in medical school or residency. Whether you need to learn about disability insurance, the best way to negotiate a physician contract, or how to do a Backdoor Roth IRA, the Financial Boot Camp Podcast will cover all the basics. Every Tuesday, we publish an episode of this series that's designed to get you comfortable with financial terms - terms you need to know as you begin your journey to financial freedom. Best of all: Financial Boot Camp is 100% completely free. Most doctors and high earners never learned about money. They weren't taught the best ways to pay off their debt, to build wealth, and to comfortably retire with all the money they need. That's our main goal — teaching anybody and everybody about money and finances and how they can give you your best life. We've been helping people make smart decisions about their money since 2011. We want to help you, too — to make a plan so you can enjoy the financial freedom you deserve.
