Somewhere between school and adulthood, most people are handed a great deal of financial advice and almost none of the basic accounting vocabulary that advice quietly assumes you already have.

Words like asset, liability, and net worth get used constantly, in articles, in conversation, in the back of your own mind when you worry about money, often without anyone ever pausing to define them clearly. This book is that pause.

There is nothing complicated buried in these definitions. The accounting that runs a household, properly understood, is genuinely simpler than the accounting that runs a company, and entirely learnable in an afternoon. What it requires is not intelligence so much as honesty: the willingness to write down, in one place, exactly what you own and exactly what you owe, and to let that number be a starting point rather than a verdict.

Let's build the balance sheet you were never quite taught to build.
