Well, that's not very smart of you. At all. You can keep things separate, sure, but you should at least know what you have together. How can you plan your retirement not even knowing what you have?

Assets minus liabilities. Include home equity. Don't include value of expected pension. And don't lie or exaggerate. No reason to. This is an anonymous forum!
