My problem is not math. My problem is linquistics.
I'm reading posts up in here that say two opposing things.
1. If you owe 100K on your house (your mortgage) that is not a liability. Therefore, it does not compute in the 'asset minus liability' formula for determining net worth.
2. If you owe 100K on your house (your mortgage) that is indeed a liability. Yet, that still does not compute in the 'asset minus liability' formula.
A thing cannot BE a liability and NOT a liability at the same time.
Maybe we should do a poll:
Is what you owe on your house a liability? Yes or No?
