Tracking Net Worth has led to a ~$40K increase for this user in 10 months. I designed an Excel Dashboard that allows users to track their net worth & visualize where their assets & debts are. Creating a pie chart for asset allocation allowed the user to understand he was concentrated in one asset class without needing to be. The user now has a more diversified asset allocation between their business, retirement, cash, and their HSA by dividing their contributions to each account. Additionally, I added a forecast function to the dashboard where depending on the amounts added by the user, it will forecast future values. This was built into the model to motivate the user to continue contributing to their accounts. Visualizing this data has helped the user focus on his goal of growing his net worth.

Very well executed. Translating net worth data into clear visuals like asset allocation and forecasts makes a real difference in decision-making. The forecasting element is especially strong — it turns the dashboard into a planning and motivation tool, not just a reporting one.

This is a great example of how visualization changes behavior. The forecasting element is especially powerful — once people can see future outcomes, consistency becomes much easier. Really well thought out dashboard.
