Ia that a new web framework ?

It's a socket and plugin framework for peer to peer applications.

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".

A day out with a loved one, be that an amusement park, museum, sight-seeing, you name it 
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).

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.

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
PS: Let's not go religious about the "one life to live" part.

Well said, Fabio.

“I spent 90% of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted” (or some variation which suits you).
