These are three important ideas that help us understand - what we own and what we owe.

1. Assets (What You Own)

Assets are things that belong to you.

Examples:

  • Money đź’µ

  • Toys 🧸

  • Books 📚

👉 If it’s yours, it’s an asset!

Why is this Important?

  1. Helps you understand your money

  2. Teaches responsibility

  3. Helps you make smart choices


2.Liabilities (What You Owe)

Liabilities are things you need to pay back.

Examples:

  • Borrowed money

  • Owing a friend

👉 If you owe it, it’s a liability.
