I just pondered if all the money that we spend (or maybe waste) on education and entertainment could be used for better things, not just travel, especially considering the millions that a person could spend over the years.

are you speaking of personal 'better things'? Because I'm also pondering the amount of money spent by groups as well as people, say on things like guns and bombs; that money could be collectively spent in a far more reasonable manner. In fact, if all that money was blown on a petting zoo for the moon, it would be better spent...
But what sort of better things are you hinting at?
