Ten most valuable things you own

But it theory it sure does sound nice to cash out all my investments, buy a small house cash and work a part time job. Mentally I just can't do it yet.

I'm of a similar age and already mentally half-checked-out from the rat race, just trying to put steps in place to escape it. House move/downsize is on the horizon, hopefully with no mortgage so I can carry on for a few more years then do something different. Never know, maybe a payoff could happen! :)

I think it's fine as long as you keep yourself busy, but being constantly stressed will end up with you being a gibbering wreck in retirement, no matter how much you thrive off it now IMO. :)

Im guessing you don't regret spending them on experiences rather than material items though? Sounds a good way to be (obviously a balance!)

My snowboard was about £80 with bindings and done two abroad trips!

Don't regret it at all, wish I ticked a few more things off but plenty of time to do that. Just takes longer to save now!
 
Aside from our house and car I don't think we have anything worth more than a grand. Engagement ring, sofa and my PC probably the only other things still worth over £500 I'd guess. Would be interesting to graph people's item values against list position, my guess is if you took our house out the equation then if you summed up items 21+ it would be more than items 2-20 on the list. I'd guess my son probably has at least £5-10k of toys (purchase price) for example.
 
Like most people who own a house, my house is at the top of the list. I'm not going to include my furniture as I include them in the house.

After that I don't own many super expensive things, I often go for more sensible items. But roughly speaking:

1. House
2. Car, it's not worth much but it's not costing me much to run.
3. 65" OLED TV
4. 5.1.2 Sound System with Denon AVR
5. Moderately specced PC with 1080 GPU
6. Synology DS1815+ NAS with 8 x 3TB hard drives
7. 17" i7 Laptop with 960 GPU

After that I am probably getting into individual items worth £300 or less and there would be a fair few of them to simply list.
 
Mine is probably:

1. House
2. Car
3. Bank balance
4. Archery Equipment
5. New bathroom (currently still in boxes in the living room, so technically not part of the house yet...)
6. Main computer setup
7. DSLR & lenses
8. TV & Speaker setup
9. Collection of hand & power tools.
10. Can't think of a 10th thing that's worth more than ~£1k on it's own
 
House - £475k (I'm not rich, got into the housing market before the boom)
Car - £43k (work offered me a stint in the middle east, so that's what bought this car)
Car - £15k
Match Betting Account - £10k (is that a thing?) everything under this was bought with MB profits
Watch - £5k
Ring - £3k
Living room TV - £2k
Dining Room table - £1k
Phone - £500
Xbox x - £400
 
The most important thing to me apart from family is my view from my place at Rannoch, the fresh air and the view, can sit for hours chilling with it all.

1. House (mortgage)

It's interesting that top of most people's list is their house, whereas I'm assuming most are still paying a mortgage so it's actually the very opposite of the most valuable thing they own. It's the most valuable debt they owe to the bank :confused:

Not really, depends how much equity you have.

Well I do own it really as long as the mortgage is paid off at the end of the terms. I haven't got left now so really I do own a part of it. 50% equity.

Can't even put a value on things like this, yes I know you could just say it's the cost of a property with such view/surroundings, but it really is priceless waking up every morning to an amazing view of nature.

Well, no - the asset value exceeds the loan value so, in my case at least, it's still no.1 by miles.
