A car is an asset, but we all know that if most people think of it this way, they will overspend on it, thinking they have something of value. We know that the asset of that car is mainly what it can do for us (get us places) and it will have a diminished value (if any) when we choose to dispose of it.

All of the items listed above are tangible assets. With a tangible asset, you can get a very realistic estimate of the value of the item and how much you can sell that item for to directly convert it into cash. When people figure their net worth, they usually include their tangible assets on the positive side.

When people talk about asset allocation, they’re talking about owning a lot of different kinds of assets at once so that no matter what happens to the economy, they won’t go bankrupt. A person might own some U.S. stocks, some international stocks, some cash, some Euros, some gold, and some land as investment assets.
