If the market tanks your stocks could lose value. If runaway inflation happens your cash could lose value. A lot of things could make your net worth decrease, but that doesn't mean it's *not* net worth.

You almost certainly have familial and emotional obligations that make primary residence equity less fungible than, say, a stock portfolio. Primary residences are not simply another asset class.

I think that can be true for a lot of assets (cars, jewelry). There are other qualities that make assets more or less fungible, but I don't think they should be excluded from net worth (unless you're going to totally redefine what it means).

Maybe some other classification (easily investable worth?) makes sense.

I’m probably a paper millionaire including home equity (including wife’s claim on assets).

Problem is a lot of it is home equity that I can’t easily access.

I still feel poor as fuck and am constantly nervous about me or wife getting Lathamed.

Is a million supposed to be a lot in 2018? That was a lot of money in 1985. It's nothing in 2018. I'm worth like $1.5 million. I still have to work. That amounting money just means if I get fired I can spend 6 months looking for a job instead of immediately selling a kidney or driving Uber. $5 million is the new $1 million just like 250k is the new $100k for a good salary. $100k now is nothing.

but tbf, $1mm gets you 30 years of $65k distributions assuming 6% returns.

So you already know you can retire at 65.

And you are young so if you can double that by 55 you probably could retire then (if OK to live on fixed income).
