    Am I the only one to find the phrase “net worth” disgusting? It should be “net wealth” or something.

      No, there are at least 2 of us. Even the concept that it’s somehow a useful measure to anyone else than your local tax authorities (except maybe for people running for public office) sounds a bit iffy to me.

      So you are right that giving it a name that ties it to your “worth” as a person is terrible.
