Ownership

Asset

Something you own that holds or creates value.

In plain language

An asset can be sold, rented, or can produce income: index funds, shares, property, a business. Value can go down too — an asset is not a guarantee.

Why it matters

Growing the asset side of your life is the whole point of owning more.

Put it to work

Own more. Owe less.
