BONUS: COMMUNITY

Community is probably your best asset. To barter and trade with, to get supplies and food that you can’t grow yourself and so on. Look to your community.

I’m sure the list could go on.

Take your time with this list. You don’t have to rush out and get all of this immediately. And there may be things you won’t want or can’t invest in and that’s ok!

You will want to look at a lot of these items for potential barter and trade, as well.

You don’t ever have to disclose that you have anything, these can be just investments for YOU.

You can also look at these items as something you’ll use only for certain circumstances.

If you feel you’ll find benefit from it and want to have it in your possession; that would be a hard asset. Anything you can hold.

What else would you consider a hard asset?
