I think age batti net worth untadi. 25 years ki us ochi eppudu around 40 years unna vallaki 1 million net worth undi in most cases

Around 35 years age unna couple ki around 500k net worth unte better

Around 40 years age unna couple ki 1 million net worth unte better

emi postlu raa vaari 😂😂😂

its always balance sheet…assets vs liabilities 

every company and personal finance follow the same rule assets vs liabilities 

ninnu ee roju niluvunaa ammithe are you asset or liability…that defines the wealth not the 401k or house equity or your stock portfolio
