Net Worth

Net worth may not reflect a person’s income or even their ownership of property. A person’s net worth is instead defined as the total of all their assets, less their debts. People with good credit scores typically have a positive net worth. The wealthy typically have a high net worth. Those in bankruptcy, by contrast, are most likely to have a negative net worth.

If you are considering bankruptcy as a way for you to deal with overwhelming debt, it is important to speak to an experienced attorney who can explain the bankruptcy process in detail.

Calculating Net Worth

To calculate an individual’s net worth, one must take all assets (real estate, investments, stocks, cash, etc.) and subtract the value of debts (car loans, private loans, student loans, credit card debt, etc.). Accordingly, a person with equal assets and debts has a net worth of $0. If you are in a position to file for bankruptcy, it is likely that you have a negative net worth. A successful bankruptcy filing can eliminate debts, or provide you with the opportunity to make alternative repayment arrangements.
