What's the most valuable thing you own?
Besides your house(s) or cars... Doesn't necessarily have to be monetarily valuable.
Just one.

Most valuable is my wife... but I don't own her (thought sometimes I feel like she owns me)
I have a solid gold Hamilton curved rectangular watch from the 40's that is probably the nicest thing I own. Guitars... hard to chose... I have an old Yamaha electric like Carlos Santana played back in the 80's... and an old G&L that was early production, tele style pickups in a strat body.

Bingo...next up, the ability to do pretty much what I wish when I wish...which isn't much these days.

You don't own your health, kids or spouse.

In that case, the ability to do pretty much as I like...the freedom to do this when I wish. I'm not rich...but I can say "screw you" to anybody without financial worry. That is worth much more to me than any of the "stuff" in this world.

Fair enough.
Maybe nothing, then. I've got stuff that certainly has sentimental value and is irreplacable. But in the grand scheme of material things, those are not really that important.
