What does net worth mean?
Your net worth is the combined value of everything you own that has monetary value (known as your assets) minus the amount of debt/loans you are paying off (known as your liabilities). For the purposes of the Lubert IDA program, the value of one vehicle
and the primary dwelling unit of the participant are disregarded and not used in the calculation of net worth.
