Why I'm building Wealth
For years I tracked my net worth in a spreadsheet. No fancy formulas, no live feeds — just cells and a calculator. Every Sunday I'd open five different apps, copy down balances, punch numbers into a calculator, and type the totals back into the sheet. Cash here, brokerage there, a few crypto wallets, FX on top. By the time I had a number, it was already stale.
It was a pretty dumb workflow, honestly. The pain wasn't the math — it was the manual work to get to the math.
The spreadsheet tax
A spreadsheet works fine until you have more than one asset class. Prices don't update. FX moves while you're typing. Half your time goes to data entry, the other half to wondering if you fat-fingered a row. The thing you built to give yourself clarity slowly turns into another chore — one you start avoiding.
What I'm trying with Wealth
wealth.marbs.io is my attempt at the tracker I wished I had. Live prices that actually update. One view across cash, public markets, crypto, and the messy long-tail of private holdings. No five-tab Sunday ritual.
It's early, and I'm sure I'll get plenty of things wrong. But the bet is simple: your net worth should be a number you can glance at, not a workbook you have to maintain.
If you've ever rebuilt the same spreadsheet three times, maybe this will be useful to you too.
