Your net worth is a measure of your financial health, calculated by subtracting your liabilities from your assets.

It’s a key indicator of your overall financial well-being, and a higher net worth means greater financial security and more options for achieving your goals. But how can you increase your net worth?

 Here are 5 strategies that can help you build wealth and boost your net worth.

• Reduce your expenses
• Increase your income
• Pay off debt
• Invest in assets that appreciate in value
• Maximize your retirement savings

Average net worth by age

shows that the average net worth of a woman who works full-time, year-round and goes to college is almost $1 million higher than the average net worth  of a man who does the same.

When it comes to time spent on caring for children, women are still much more involved in family care than men. In other words, women work so that they can be productive and work hard and also have a job that is comparable to what men are capable of.

Age of head of family	Median net worth	Average net worth
Less than 35	$13,900	$76,300
35-44	$91,300	$436,200
45-54	$168,600	$833,200
55-64	$212,500	$1,175,900
65-74	$266,400	$1,217,700
75+	$254,800	$977,600

Comparable to what men are capable of.

Also, women are very fortunate to have the job market where they can stay home. They also have wonderful family laws that give them the opportunity to make that choice.

What should the men’s movement do?

I agree that we need a new men’s movement to help to raise awareness of men’s issues. But I don’t believe we need a new men’s movement.

When people focus on social problems, especially men’s issues, they often get more attention and get programs and services to address them.

Most men’s organisations are talking about the issues – not talking to men. In other words, the focus of the new men’s movement needs to be on bringing awareness to men’s issues and identifying the root causes of men’s problems.

Men have a problem with personal responsibility. Men’s low self-esteem is caused by the media and by the peer pressure to live up to throws, not by the environment. We need to find ways to help men deal with this issue.

We also need to teach men to take responsibility for their own lives. Most men are not even aware of the rights they have or how to get out of abusive relationships.
