Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,200,000; listed items add up to $307,000

Reported net worth: $1,200,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $307,000. A difference is normal: net worth also counts assets and debts that aren't listed individually (items under $1,000, credit cards, taxes), and the instructions say subtracting listed liabilities from listed assets won't give an accurate figure in most cases. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.
