What To Do With Your Money, Then?

If the stock market is no longer a safe bet, what the hell is one to do with their money? Real Estate? Ahhh...

It seems like the only real safe bet is to invest in yourself, ie try to pick up skills that others think are valuable and translate it into a high paying job. And still, a 2% rate of return in the stock market is better than sticking your dough in the bank and watch it inflate away.
