As I age, it’s important for me to know what my net worth is at the present time and, hopefully, find ways of growing it as I move into my senior years. It will be a shame if I get to be an old fellow and run out of capital. Recently, I’ve taken some big hits.
Way back when, I was feeling pretty rich. Then my parents died and put a big hole in my personal stock portfolio. Next, my brother Eddie dropped dead. And just recently, I lost my big sister, Connie. Many of my close friends took off on me as well. If I don’t accumulate new sources of wealth, I may be in trouble. So I have devised my own wealth meter. You are welcome to use it.

I recognize this evaluation of my net worth is more indicative of my future joy and contentment than my dollars in my bank. I feel pretty good right now as a multimillionaire, but I need to keep investing in new relationships in order to recoup my losses.
I’d be interested in how your wealth is stacking up.
