Though I took a three-week hiatus, I continue to work hard to provide some useful financial advice over at my weekly Toonie Newsletter. Naturally, I highly recommend you read last week’s newsletter before this week drops into inboxes this coming Friday morning. Last week, I discussed how a budget and a personal net worth statement work a lot better when used in tandem. And this week, I am writing about what to include and not to include in that personal net worth statement.

This quick post from Greg Morris struck a chord with me. I find the entire discourse State-side to be so off-putting — not specifically when it comes from Americans, but rather when it comes from non-Americans looking down their noses. We all have our own problems in our own countries. Let’s take the log out of our own eyes before we attempt to lecture anyone else on the log in theirs.
