Stop calling it an asset

Isn’t it saves us rent there by keeping the money into our picket which we had to letgo.

Not necessarily – if the personal home allows you to save on rent money (or the opportunity cost of not having a house), it’s still saving regular cash flow

That is a partial definition of an asset at most. An asset need not necessarily be putting money in your pocket immediately or regularly, i.e. it need not be income oriented. Anything can be an asset provided it yields more than what you put into it over the period of your “ownership” of the asset. By “more”, I’m also considering inflation, so that you get back something that is more than inflation over the period.
