I would agree 100%.

For some reason, everyone spends all their time trying to get a 3, 4, 5, 10, 12% return on their money. When you could be earning hundreds or thousands of percent.

-You could invest in new skills. Toastmasters for example costs about $100 a year in my area. If the increase in confidence and the improvement in speaking skills makes you an extra $3,000 this year, that's a 3,000% return on your money!

-You can earn a huge ROI from books, courses. I've made probably 100x my money on certain courses and home study programs.

-You can invest in home improvements to increase your property value. You can invest in new technology that saves you time or makes you money.

There's all kinds of things to invest in. The stuff on yahoo finance and in the popular press is at the low end of the spectrum IMO.
