Easy: get divorced. I had been calculating my net worth on the basis of total family net worth. However that will no longer be the case because I am getting divorced. The basic financial rule in a divorce (at least in my jurisdiction) is that all assets are added up, liabilities are subtracted, and each spouse gets half of what's left. So "my" net worth will now be half of what it was before. However, sometimes it's worth it. You can't put a price on happiness. You could be incredibly wealthy but what's the point if you aren't happy?
