<prompt> Human: At the end of every month I like to document my wife and Is 28 DINK personal net worth. I have an excel doc that has every asset of ours listed and debt just our mortgage!. At the bottom I figure the amount change with percentage. I just started this in July, but the data Ive collected is extremely useful and helpful to see where we are growing. Since July, we have grown 18.9--this seems fantastic. To give you an idea of the incremental monthly numbers, we only grew our net worth only 1.24 from last month. Anyways, this brings me to my question--is there a rule or standard of growth I should be comparing my net worth against? Obviously, we should be striving to maximize all growth potential, but are these good numbers, and if not, what are? Id love to know what you guys think about this. Thanks again for your input!  <response>: As your net worth increases, the rate of increase will tend to approach that of your investments.
