I do hope the hololens takes off, but after oculus rift and other VR products failing to deliver within a reasonable time frame my hopes are not very high. In my dreams, I'm building a highly sophisticated 3D virtual UI for our CAM application, but every time I wake up I realize this won't be possible within my time

I am a teacher and trainer. I disagree, education with online resources (udacity, coursera, udemy, kanacademy) are mostly free and teach you faster than anything you can spend money on.

I agree with you, however, there are many careers that require an actual degree -- doctor, psychiatrist, lawyer, veterinarian, etc etc etc -- and a lot of the education in those fields requires hands-on work, not something you can get out of an online course. And (as my gf is observing, as she is getting her MA in psychology) education is not cheap.
So I stand by my point that the best thing you can spend money on is education.
Also, you're point is incorrect, as, for example, udacity charges a nice little sum for its courses, so I'm not actually sure what point you're trying to make!

Udacity had free courses, I think there are still some. But it is nowhere near what education cost in the US.
The only jobs that require "school participation" are the one the necessitate a government licence. So a big part of the price is the licence.
The only exception I am making are the job that require laboratory and rare furnitures a single individual can't buy.
For all intellectual jobs that don't require dirty hands, if you want real education and not just the license, then I stay on my position : schooling is not the best solution.
You'll be smarter and richer by reading everything you can about the subject at home, and reaching the community around the domain.

I definitely concur!
I wish I'd known that I could drop out of high school and take the GDE (or whatever it's called) - I would have spent the time learning real things not wasting it. I've heard it's much harder now to get your GDE, they (the gov't) really wants to make sure it fully infects your brain.

Despite some stock market indiscretions in the 90s, I maintain that wisely investing one's money in the stock market is among the best uses of it. By wisely, I mean diversification and reducing risk by investing in specific sectors vs. specific companies or "hot tips".
