I don't like the idea of travelling back to the past. You start making different decisions and now all of a sudden you've started a butterfly effect and started messing up the timeline. Too much can go wrong with just the slightest change. I'll take the 50 million easy.

But if I'm supposed to die 10 years from now, how does that work?

You know whats funny is I was just thinking of a time travel story that makes sense and the only thing I thought of was a story were a person continually went back in time to his younger self to pass along information to accumulate & build on over several time traveling cycles.
Sounds interesting

Where you read that?

Are we ten years old in 2019, or when we were 10 in the 90s? It’s much more difficult for kids now than it was for us.

I always ask this would parameters set. Like you have knowledge of self, if right and wrong, etc

You know the power and value of compounding interest and investing. You know about saving and budgeting, etc

Like you know things a financially wise adult would know and understand...

But...

I dont know lottery numbers, outcomes of sporting events, or which stocks would take off, etc....

So, its like have the knowledge of a 50 yr old Warren Buffett at the age of 10, or be your current self at 50, but with $50 Million???


My answer is always go back to the age of 10.

I think a lot of ppl overestimate the value of the knowledge they have now.

:mjgrin:
