Here’s a great article by Harry Sit (The Finance Buff) on how efficient we have (or have not ) been at converting our income (human capital) into wealth. The higher the WCE, the better. So, for example, someone with a WCE=100% would have converted the equivalent of every dollar of income into Net Worth. As you can see from the article, the expected pattern would be to have lower WCE at younger ages and higher WCE as we age and, hopefully, our investments growth outpaces our income.

I’ve also started a poll. Here are answers to some expected poll questions.
1. NW=All assets - All Liabilities
2. Do not include household effects, vehicles & the like
3. Do include real estate
4. Do include the NPV of any guaranteed income streams (pensions, annuities & SS)
5. Do adjust your income for inflation (and follow other guidelines in the article).
