Liabilities • Amounts owed to others. • Credit cards • Car loans • House loans • Business loans
Net Worth • The difference between a persons assets and liabilities. • This is the amount of money that could be claimed if you sold the item and paid off your loan. • This amount is what is actually owned. • i.e. You own a $100,000 house.

Personal Cash Flow Statement • Remember a balance sheet records assets liabilities and net worth • Another way to examine a persons net worth is to use the cash flow statement. • It records wages and other income (cash inflows) • Spending usually for a month (cash outflows)
Cash Inflows • The money that you have available to spend • Income • Savings • Interest • Your income should be your net income (take home pay). This is your amount earned minus taxes and payroll deductions. • Health deductions • Retirement
Cash outflows • Keep a record of all spending • You might want to categorize • Outflows are spending • Some amounts will be the same every month • Some will vary
Compare inflows to outflows • This is your cash flow statement • Can also be used as your budget • The cash flow statement takes your cash inflow and subtract your cash outflow • If you spent less than you had in income the difference is a net worth • This amount will most likely be put into savings. • If you spent more that you had in income you have a net loss
