Equity on primary residence is not counted towards net worth.

WTF šŸ˜³ Of course it is. Personally I use the term ā€œnon-housing net worthā€ when Iā€™m projecting things like retirement 3% rule and such.

spoiler alert: people that include this shit are what we call ā€œhouse poorā€

house equity is the most bullshit measure lmao. remove that shit from the poll or change it to ā€œiā€™m a millionaire only if you include house equityā€ being house poor is a very serious issue with tech workers that no one in the bay area is willing to admit but want to flex ā€œbeing a millionaireā€ anyway.

Why if they sell their house. Atleast they will get some equity. By that logic 401k shoudnt be included as well as its golden handcuffs. I dont have a house anyway

you also include your couch, watch, car, furniture, and toiletries in your net worth calculation donā€™t you?
