Other Aspects of Net Worth to Consider

Some additional ways to think about net worth include:

Relational Net Worth.  How did your use of money this past year impact your most valued relationships? Did you have any recurring financial disagreements with your spouse? What money-related changes in the year ahead may pay the best relational dividends?

Physical Net Worth.  Did you make any investments in your health this year? Should you make any in the New Year?

How might thinking about net worth in these ways shape your use of money in the coming year?
