Of course you are. Unless you're in debt for an amount bigger than that - loosely speaking. It's a question of net-worth. The guy that was worth 10k this morning and took out a loan of 2m from his SACCO in the afternoon is still worth 10k. Yeye hapana millionaire. Na akionekana aambiwe awache kudanganya watu.


Thought he'd be worth -990K.... ama hii hesabu sio ya Carey Francis?


Hehehe! @Wendz, hiyo ni ya Waititu Form 1D. The fellow will add all of his 2m to his asset column and a similar (negative) amount to his liabilities column. Result? KES 0.00 increase in networth.

That being said I have since made my first one since I was last on this thread. smile

Method? Rather traditional. Kukaza mchipi na kuweka pesa kwa SACCO ni kama ninalipwa. Bought land a while ago and liquidated it recently (after 2 years) at thrice my buying price. Looking to turn that into a habit. smile

Do we talk about liquid cash or things that can be liquefied/liquidated?

Kama ni mambo ya liquefaction/liquidation then I am worth tens of millions!

kama ni mambo na hard cash then niko in hundredsthousandsnnaire!!

@Keanute,Factual, I too, followed this approach, though I am still walking there. Again; and always I remind myself that (clean money) takes one a long way. I am in a process of clinching a deal for 15 acres in Kajiado for future capital gain instead of an 1/8th in and around where everyone wants to buy. For now, my family can stay in our apartment (loan free) in /within,5 kms away from CBD. I am inspired.
Whoops!

Assets - Liabilities = Net Worth

I think this is what we are talking about. If you are still worth tens of millions by that definition, you are doing quite well my brother.

How do I put my two cars in the same calculation? Will their inclusion increase my net worth?

Your cars are not assets unless you operate a car hire or a taxi business
