Understanding Net Worth

The video tutorial explains the concept of net worth, which is the difference between total assets and total liabilities. It begins by defining assets as items of value owned by a person, such as a house, car, or jewelry. The tutorial then introduces liabilities, which are debts or obligations like mortgages, car loans, and credit card debt. By subtracting liabilities from assets, one can calculate net worth.
