    Now we have an almost complete map of how to waste money (marriage, car, food...), let see what worth to buy...

    Every time I run down to Amsterdam, I run into English or American "gentlemen" who, upon seeing that I'm a native English speaker, seem happy to inform me what they believe the best things to spend money on are, and ask me where to find them. My customary response is not KSS, so I shan't post it here.

    I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

        A day out with a loved one, be that an amusement park, museum, sight-seeing, you name it :D Things come and go, but memories are forever (unless you get some brain damage or disease, but at that point everything else might be pretty worthless too).

                    Travelling. Go meet other places, other cultures, other experiences. You have only one life to live, so make the most out of it, either alone or with someone else. I just wish I had more time and money to do it more often. My fingernails even grow when I do it :-D PS: Let's not go religious about the "one life to live" part.

                                  Things that last and always give you joy. A nice pair of leather shoes, a fine watch, a good dog, professional cutlery, etc. If it lasts a decade or more, it's worth buying the best that you can afford.

                                        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.

                                          Burn everything you have and build a new life in a new place with your money. The reason can be found in a story of The Psychology of optimal experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

                                          "The Shuswap region was and is considered by the Indian people to be a rich place: rich in salmon and game, rich in below-ground food resources such as tubers and roots—a plentiful land.

                                          In this region, the people would live in permanent village sites and exploit the environs for needed resources.
                                          They had elaborate technologies for very effectively using the resources of the environment, and perceived their lives as being good and rich.

                                          Yet, the elders said, at times the world became too predictable and the challenge began to go out of life.
                                          Without challenge, life had no meaning.

                                          So the elders, in their wisdom, would decide that the entire village should move, those moves occurring every 25 to 30 years.
                                          The entire population would move to a different part of the Shuswap land and there, they found challenge.

                                          There were new streams to figure out, new game trails to learn, new areas where the balsamroot would be plentiful.
                                          Now life would regain its meaning and be worth living. Everyone would feel rejuvenated and healthy. Incidentally, it also allowed exploited resources in one area to recover after years of harvesting."

                                          If you wonder about what to do of your money, I guess you are starting to feel like those indians. :)
