Wouldn't he have had to pay for his education with the money?

Pay for his education? Well now I know I'm talking to someone who doesn't really know the bible as well as he claims. There is no recording of Jesus having an education in the Gospels or anywhere else. Seems redundant for the son of God anyway. Also it's certainly historically inaccurate for 1st century jewish peasants to be educated.
As for your second part, that's not a matter of interpreting the bible, it's a matter of very basic logic. A man has no possessions at the age of 30, there are really only two options, he A. never had any. B. Gave them away.
It's possible there was Nazereth mini-storage, but I see it as unlikely. I also see it unlikely that Jesus was a hypocrite telling others to give away their possessions while not doing so himself.
