You’re worth much more than $0 if you have no debt on your assets.

I know this is a kittle different way to look at it than straight up net worth, but that always seemed like a weird way to calculate to me. Like if you have all of your worth in a suoer expensive house, you could still be "house poor". I am trying to track a little more of a liquid worth view.

Hi, I have recently saved some money and wanted to invest it to make something out of it instead of just letting it dry in my bank account.
I wanted to ask if anyone has been facing a similar situation and if you have started investing by yourself (stock picking, ETF, crypto) or just done it through your bank and let them do the work. If it’s the first option, also I would appreciate any advice.
