How often we see net worth statement?

Net worth statement is a notes of our asset and liability. The excess asset to liabilities means we are in normal condition or health. There is no bankrupt threat. If the gap between the asset or liabilities is so wide means we are very rich man. Some people whose has so much car and house but has so much debt are said not rich. They have so much liability that they should pay. Sometimes it the high liability make the people bankrupt. They forget to see the net worth statement and borrow money from usurer.

If they see the net worth satement, they will not borrow money from the userer. The userer can cripple our money fast due we should pay the debt.
