All of the above are very educated people. You can't say to a random person "Start investing so you can quit your job and retire early." because it can turn into a disaster for them. The only thing that's always worth investing in is your education. The thing is that even if you succeed in making money without being educated, those money will hardly make your life better. So, first things first, get a good education, and only after that start thinking on where to invest.

No contest to that, I can fathom all of them are far more insightful than many people miles ahead, theyre totally unlearning themselves to the school education system, Im not sure what are you going to suggest, when the entire social system is designed in a way that promoting go to school, get good result with flying color, get a job with benefit, invest into well diversified portfolio, get married and youre set for life. You cant get a good education with current social order, thats a losing envaedor, personally I dont even know what to do to educate people, may be create smartphone create awareness on Facebook, create software and so on, but with massive amount of fake news spending all over the internet, you cant even educate people as easy as it used to be in 2008, thats trying too hard, the capitalism always get away from it.

Self-education is becoming easier year by year, and this process is irreversible. For now people who know English are in an advantageous position, because mostly some great free educational stuff is in English, but later, I'm sure, it will be available in all languages. And since the education is not free yet for most of the people, I think that the best option is investing in your education. It can be classes in your local language, or some English courses, it doesn't matter. What matters is understanding that making money with your skills and knowledge is much more preferable than making money with money(which happens with investing in the best case scenario.)

Let take a look at the macro level of today dilemma faced by young men. Bank would allocate equal fund to two group of people, one being the smart one (the A student), one being the dumb one (the C student), A student would often time go to study higher education, while C student would often go to start a business or simply settle down and get married. Fast forward to ten years later, what we are going to see is most often time the A student despite having very knowledgable, but they also cope up with huge pile of student loans, with that amount of student loan burdening their life, they cant make use of their knowledge and build something useful, but forced to work for the corporate jobs that often time has nothing to do with the knowledge they have. Waste of their youthful energy and work on office jobs indulge themselves with office politics, tie a noose around their neck, do mind numbing paperwork, attend endless meeting, reporting to bosses, thats how you destroy a A student who could be productive and produce exceptional breakthroughs, but push to work for something else; while Im not gonna cover the C student, theyre often time ended up in divorces or became crack head doing drugs or living a tug life, (also there is B student who mainly excel in politics and manipulation, who love living a parasitic life.)

The whole point is A student are getting knowledges but at a high cost that would often dictate their life dream of building a utopian nations, but education dont come cheap, its expensive to sustain a highly civilised and knowledge based society, (which civilisation didnt collapse in the entire human history?). What I think can fix the world problems is lowering the cost of educations, we should help the young boy who would pursuit to be A student in education, by providing them competitive educations at a price that would not burn their wallet, I think free educations to be idealistic, 200k in education for a young boy to go from college to university graduate to be reduced to 2k that would make a world of different, its all but theory, its easy to just say but how can we provide education at such a low cost?? Wikipedia might be trying to provide competitive education for A student at a very low cost, but we all know whats happening to Wikipedia now, the entire knowledge based website become a place of misinformation, deceptions, politics, fake news, thats not going to nurture A student, I think Wikipedia would likely nurture more B student. So how to reduce the cost of education for A student again? May be using YouTube to provide free education? Create computer for self learning? Create softwares? Create internet based education forum? They are all idealistic in theory but in real world we often see all of them end up in the wrong hand and get abused. Good luck trying to provide low cost educations and also trying to nurture more A student, all civilisation would eventually come to an end, its the nature of a life cycle, every civilisation would collapse in 200 years and erase all A student from the face of the earth, no one can change that.

I had see a lot of professors PhD who should be tasked to building world changing life support unit the livingry artefact to solve world all human being economic and social needs. But theyre all being forced to do something else, include working for mind numbing office job, mind numbing food delivery jobs, mind numbing office politics, we all destined to destroy the A student that can move the world forward, nobody can challenge the law of nature, nature always beat nurture.

And you want to suggest self-education? Really? Under such climate?
