Saving money is hard.<\/b> It requires self-control in the face of continuous bombardment by scientifically engineered marketing messages, peer-pressure and brains \u201cdesigned\u201d for immediate gratification<\/a>. For many of us, it requires investing some quality time to mindfully design a sustainable budget that’s in line with our values. (We think we’ve figured out how to make this easier, with our Happy Budget<\/a>\u00ae!) It’s also risky: we know how much we’d enjoy spending that $100 now. Maybe the investment we put it in craters. Even if does become $400 later, do we even care about that future self who gets to spend it<\/a>?<\/p>\n The least your savings can do for you is work as hard as you do.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The least your savings can do for you is work as hard as you do.<\/b> A dollar under the mattress is clearly not the same thing as a dollar in a carefully built investment portfolio or used to repay high-cost debt. So how can we make our money make more money for us?<\/p>\n The place to start is your Net Worth.<\/b> Net Worth measures the difference between our assets (cash, investments) and our liabilities (credit cards, mortgage, and other debt). Assets only tells half the story because you eventually have to repay liabilities from those assets and future income. Focusing on Net Worth helps us to think holistically and find the best use for our savings.<\/p>\n How can we build Net Worth as fast as possible?<\/p>\n\n
