Hi everyone,

I'm bored! - so just for interest, I thought I would put up this poll to see how Somersoft is stacking up in this equity building game.

Equity = Net Assets = Total Assets - Total Liabilities (including PPOR and your partner's assets and liabilities)

Last time I did this, I called it the net worth figure and said you should not include your PPOR, which some of you disagreed with, so this time let's include the PPOR and call it equity or net assets...and see the results.

There's been a couple of these threads done in the past for comparison:

I would say that boats, cars, artwork, other material possessions etc. could be included at your discretion. I don't think this will make too much difference to the poll. I personally don't take these things into account though.

Fair enough, I included it anyway as it's probably about $350k as it sit's.

Did not include the $2000 Valiant or the $15 artwork though.

does it reflect the distribution of income? (wages). that would be interesting to see a comparison - will try and find one. as the income bubble moves up, does the investing bubble?
 
Due to the limited number of poll options and the need to span a wide range of net equity values, the range of each category is not constant. This introduces a numeric distortion in the distribution.

The attached graph shows the distribution corrected to the count per $100,000 increment in net equity.

The equation predicting the number of votes (the count) vs net equity is:

= 11.92 * exp(-0.0000391 * ($_Middle_of_Range_of_Category ^ 0.7385))
