What drives the result
Net worth (assets − debts) is the scoreboard; saving rate is the engine; compounding is the multiplier. Domain plans differ only in which lever they pull: tax plans cut drag, debt plans cut interest, insurance plans cap ruin.
Recommendations
- •Track quarterly — trends beat snapshots.
- •Grow assets and shrink debts simultaneously; either alone is half a plan.
