Frequently asked questions

Is a negative net worth unusual?
It's common, especially early in a mortgage or right after taking a car or study loan — your liabilities can exceed your assets for years before investments and equity catch up.

Should I include retirement accounts like EPF?
Yes — include EPF, unit trusts, stocks, and other retirement or investment accounts under "Investments" since they're assets you own.
