We have a fair portion of our net worth in rental property. To make apples-to-apples year to year net worth comparisons we just use the tax man's "real market value" each year. We were closing in on an arbitrary net worth dollar goal and hoping to reach it this year.
Property tax statements are out and we owe tens of thousands in taxes, which will drop our current net worth. Bummer. On the good side, we have an all new list of "real market values", which kicks our net worth over the goal - plus 2%! Time to celebrate, and we've got our treat all picked out: a bag of Fritos Scoops corn chips. Time for a new goal. I like reaching more than sustaining.
