Anything that earns value over time is an asset. I personally own: * Index funds (a little bit of the entire stock market): both US and international * Physical real estate: 2 houses (and hopefully purchasing more!) I also invest in: * Trying to maintain my health so I can live a happy life * Spending time with my family and friends so I can have the type of social life I desire * Education: I read a lot of books and spend money and time learning new things
