Your assets are the things that you own that can be converted to cash. Some examples of assets that you may own are:cash, furniture, cars, 401(k), stocks, jewelry, televisions, boats etc. Make a list of these things and give them a value .After you've made the list, add up the values. The total is what you can get ideally if you sell all of your assets. Next, you need to make a list of all of your debt. This list should not include your utilities. Some examples of your liabilities are: mortgage, car note, credit card debt, student loans, and medical debt. Add up the total. How does the figure look?
