It's a little difficult to describe all the assets classes without using Pie Charts, and other graphical methods. Lets take real estate as an example, it can have a growth component and income component. Rents collected would be income, while appreciation would be growth. Much like owning a Balanced Mutual Fund that holds bonds and common stock. It generates dividends and growth. Of course, all this assumes that things keep going up, which is not the case. During down periods in the stock market, or real estate market, is where cash comes in. Good luck with your planning and enjoy your retirement. Stock Bull
