The Net worth report
The Net Worth report displays your total net worth based on the current value of your assets, liabilities and account balances. This is displayed at the top of the page. The report is then divided into two main sections:
- What I own
Any accounts that currently have a positive balance, as well as any assets (including property) that have been added to your PocketSmith account - What I owe
Any accounts that currently have a negative balance, as well as any mortgages, loans or other liabilities that have been added to your PocketSmith account
Listed under each of the sections ( What I own or What I owe) you'll see the following information for each asset, liability, or account:
- The name of the account, asset or liability
- The type of asset (property, vehicle etc), liability (loan, mortgage, vehicle etc) or account (bank, credit card etc)
- The current value
- The date the current value was last updated
- For any asset that is linked to a liability, you'll also see the liability it is linked to
