material goods
Tangible owned things
Material goods are physical objects that can be owned, bought, or sold—things you can touch, as opposed to services or abstract wealth.
The term often appears in discussions of consumerism or spirituality, where material goods are contrasted with intangible values: She gave up material goods to pursue a simpler life.
In economics, material goods include everything from food and clothing to cars and electronics.
