Stockpiling tangible assets through your working life is one thing (money, pension, property, cars and shiny bright objects) but stockpiling intangible assets (friends, family, health and contentment) is another issue altogether.
Over doing one against the other is never a recipe for success and so taking stock of where your tangible and intangible assets are on a regular basis is probably one way of increasing your happiness.
In the world that we find ourselves in now, many of us are scratching and scraping to make sure our tangible assets are safe or secure in the current uncertain times.
Generally, an overemphasis on tangible assets leads to a reduction in intangible assets.

Let’s all take a minute to sit back and decide how we’re going to make space for things that aren’t bought of Amazon in January, February and March.
