  • Trading my time for my employers’ money. I guess the answer in this case is human capital. 

    And an excel sheet is good enough for my tracking of NW.

    Assuming getting a job is not a "financial decision", then starting to invest was the best financial decision I made to help boost my net worth. I use a spreadsheet to track my net worth.
    ...ditto!
  • Save more, spend less
  • Married my wife. 
  • Though the answer would have been “having a vasectomy” if I’d actually done it.

    Best financial decision:

    Just before the Great Crash I bought one annuity, kept the TFLS as cash and substantially derisked my other pension funds in preparation for buying a second annuity.    Pure luck, not mystic powers.
