I agree with that the current graph is suboptimal... I personally prefer 
Assets and Liabilities to be plotted in the same direction since it makes 
them much easier to compare. We could switch to negative bars for the 
Liabilities quite easily, maybe we can add an option for that. 

Your sketched idea for the ideal net worth barchart is indeed very good. 
However, with the current Guppi API that we're using it is impossible to do 
so :-( . Somebody would need to reimplement a completely new chart type in 
order to accomplish such a plot.
