The four commonly discussed types of wealth are financial wealth, social wealth, time wealth, and physical or health wealth. Financial wealth includes income-producing assets and savings. Social wealth reflects relationships and influence. Time wealth means having freedom over your schedule, while physical wealth relates to health and vitality. Aspirational wealth planning often seeks to balance these areas, not just grow account balances.
