Thanks for the spreadsheet. Calculating my (negative) net worth was comforting.

Based on the previous post, “Your Net Worth”, the entire “Personal Property” section of the spreadsheet might give people the wrong idea: namely the people that didn’t read the “Your Net Worth” post, but still, maybe better to do away with the section altogether.

“But darling, this new speedboat is an _asset_ according to Kerry!”

I suppose some people make real money wheeling and dealing (my father-in-law), but I’d be surprised to learn that’s true of many.

Hi Lynn,

I just tested all the links for the Canadian spreadsheet and everything works. I think your browser doesn’t know what to do with an .xls file. So here’s the fix:

Right click the link Household Net Worth Spreadsheet (Canadian), and select Save As to save the file to your computer. Then open it directly from your hard drive using Excel.

Why is the link for downloading a copy of the Canadian Net Worth Spreadsheet not working? I’ve tried it a few times now, but the message i’m getting is “not a supported file type or file has been damaged”.
I would like a copy of this spreadsheet, however.
Can someone help?

Hibby: Thanks for finding this error! I’ve fixed both downloads to read “Appliances”. No fear, no new financial terms to learn here.

These are great; thanks!
It seems on both the canadian and american spreadsheets, it said “applicances” in the last portion. Is that something that I’ve never hear of (possible, in this whole new and strange world of finance) or is it supposed to read “appliances”?

Thank you again for all the work you put into this!
