Real estate, Stock market, bank saving, lending to people or spend on self improvement - like books, training, getting degrees etc..

Please suggest?
No brainer -- invest passively in the entire market (ie. indexed investing). Read "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" or "The Boglehead's Guide to Investing." Simple stuff really, and you don't have to know anything about picking stocks, trying to time the market, which stocks with go up/down, none of that!

Incidentally, I also agree with the advice to invest in yourself via education. Purchasing the above two books would qualify!
