I haven't calculated my net worth growth rate as such. It is defenitely increasing for sure.
But I don't know exactly the growth rate. Different investments grow at different rates.
Also, there is no use of calculating the net worth of some things like own house, gold for consumption etc, because I am not going to sell it anywyay.
Financial assets grow at different rates - mostly debt instruments at around 7-8% and equity around 10-12%
Income as such also grows at around 5-8% year on year.
I will have to go back and see the net worth from time to time and then get back with some numbers later.

Summarised perfectly.
It's just giving a fair idea, how you are doing !!
 
Reverse psychology also happens with gold...
Few years back a friend invested heavily in HDFC Gold MF, Holded for 2-3 years, same time his equity MF performed very well.
One day he sold Gold MF at par.
5x now...
In long term, 10 years..Gold always beat CAGR of Nifty...Gold is evergreen, if you do not want too much headache...

Problem is holding capacity and the patience.
When other class doing compounding at 30:40 CAGR , temptation to exit non performing asset, and move on to performing is natural.
 
I also think -- after your networth crosses a significant number (say your FIRE number) more than the growth rate we give importance to stability.
It's OK grow slow but stable 10% is better than volatile 20%.
Sequence of returns risk is what I am most fearful of.
Having a significantly large debt component helps to keep the equity part untouched for many years.

That is quite true, at a certain point preservation is more important...

I feel it is other way. Once you cover up your emergency fund, emis, you can go for higher risk investment. Any money you dont need for 10 years, can be blindly put in Stock market / equity mf.

Second this. Once you have insurance and emergency fund sorted, you can invest (with proper asset allocation) remaining money (after expenses) you don't need in short term

Post fire number better to shift equity to debt imo
 
Your Input..
My Story
The generic summary is given below.

Calculation Parameters
Starting point - 1st salary + no own house (only parental house) + no car + no other material assets/gizmos, etc (i.e. no starting liquidity or net worth)
End Point - today, with whatever valuations/savings/etc.

Approx. CAGR
Based on the above parameters, for different asset classes, CAGR (CAGR calculator source - here) is as under:-
  • Liquid Assets (Cash, FD, Stocks, etc) - 52.02%
  • Semi-Liquid Assets (PPF etc) - 28.34%
  • House Valuation - 66.63%
  • Gold etc - 27.31%
  • Misc (car, household assets after depreciation) - 19.31%
  • Overall Net Worth - 68.89%
Conclusion
All in all, some hits, some misses. Lot of learning. Plethora of bitter and sweet memories. Etc.
Chhotey se jivan ki chhotey badey sukh aur dukh. 🙂

Hope this helps. 🙂
