For instance, you have a $400k home and own half the equity.
Your retirement account & any other investments or cash is also $400k
Your assets are $800k but you still own $200k on your house & 9k on your car.
Your net worth is $800k - $210k = $590k
Cash on hand is in there somewhere but is usually a small component.
