Balance Sheet
A personal balance sheet is a statement of net worth and consists of three main parts:
Assets = What we own
Liabilities = What we owe
Net Worth = Assets – Liabilities
There are two different kinds of assets.
Current assets = Those we expect to use up within
a year or can easily be converted to cash within 12
months.
Long-term assets = Those that we expect to have
for over a year.
Many people think they don’t have many assets
because they think of these things as items like
cash, securities, vehicles, or a home. However, all
your clothes, jewelry, linens, dishes, pots and
pans, furniture, exercise equipment, hobby
components, and other personal belongings are
assets. It is important to insure all your assets.
Protecting what we own is one of the steps you
can take to move closer to financial
independence.
You can begin to build your balance sheet by
taking an inventory of your assets. Don’t forget to
include any 401K or IRA you have set up for
retirement in your assets.
There are also two different kinds of liabilities.
Current liabilities = Those we expect to pay the
balance on within 12 months.
Long term liabilities = Those we expect to pay the
balance on more than 12 months from
the balance sheet date.
Once you know your assets and liabilities you can calculate your net worth by subtracting liabilities from
assets.
Taking a physical inventory…
Take a few minutes and imagine you are
looking at one room in your home. Without
looking, can you make a complete listing of
what is in that room? Now how about the
garage, the basement, or the attic? Any idea
what items are in each of these locations? It
is essential to have a complete inventory of
the items in your home in order to be sure
you can be fairly compensated should you
have to report a casualty loss.
For insurance purposes many individuals are
now beginning to video the contents of each
room in their homes so they have a record of
all their assets in case of a loss.
Liquid assets explained…
Assets can have various states of liquidity.
The most liquid assets can be converted to
cash within 12 months or less, while the least
liquid assets would need a period longer than
12 months converted to be converted into
cash.
Here is a sample balance sheet for review.
