Besides crypto…

    Realistically, I would grieve the loss of my children, who would never be born if I didn’t line things up just right to cause them to happen again. I’d spend more time with my parents, who are getting along in the years, and I’d make the most of my time with them while they’re healthy and happy.

    There are a few specifics where I’d try to get some loved ones out of trouble before some critical tipping point that would later cause a bunch of heartache and stress.

    There are general things about money and politics I’d probably do differently, knowing about how stocks have performed and what not, but that’s not super interesting to me, because I’m mostly content in my personal life (including my career) and wouldn’t want to upset that balance by doing anything too different from what brought me here.

      This right there is the one reason I wouldn’t go back in time if given the chance.

    Bumping me back to 2014… I’d buy Nvidia stock and Gme stock… Bitcoin .

    I’d then ditch the ex wife earlier… Get into a local scene earlier and enjoy my time till my baby momma / best friend / wife came along.

      2011/12~ ish my wife said “we should build a computer to mine crypto” my answer was “that is dumb, how can some digital ones and zeros be worth any actual cash, it seems like a waste of money to spend thousands on a computer with multiple gpus for something that will never pay for itself.”

      A couple weeks later I regretted my answer because I could have had a SICK gaming computer. A decade later I regretted it for other reasons and decided to start letting my wife make all the financial decisions.

    PPE and Vaccine maker stocks, it’ll be 5 years to get the initial capital but once I’ve got it together, those are gonna explode in value on me.

    I’d hesitate to switch my college of choice for the friends I’d lose out on, but if I did I would know where I’d try extra hard to get in instead. Def reconsidering the major I study though, the one I went with was sold to me as one of the best and turned out to be fucking useless trying to find any work.

    I’d wait a couple of years and talk my ex-husband into keeping our house and renting it instead of selling it when we split up. It made sense at the time, since selling it was the fastest way to pay off all of our mutual debt (and most of our individual debt, too) and make it an easy split, but if we’d waited a few years, we would’ve made a solid 6 figure profit. I have no desire to be a landlord and mostly I’m glad we sold it to a nice family for what was still an affordable amount, but it would’ve been the only way I could ever afford to buy anything else on a single income, and it would’ve set him and his new wife up a lot better. I kind of hate the idea morally, but from a purely pragmatic view, it would’ve made sense.

    I would start drinking coffee a lot sooner. I’ve found that it has a remarkable effect on my cognitive ability (supposedly a common thing amongst ADHDers), and in 2014, I’d have benefitted massively from that.

      Depends highly on your age 10 years ago. Caffeine can have a negative effect on a developing mind.

    Win the lotto for me and a buddy then toss some into investments and properties to sell/rent at a discounted rate following 2019 in comparison to those who inflated theirs. Instead of 2k/m I’ll go $1,500 as long as it’s still above the profit line I don’t need hoards of wealth from it I kinda enjoy working.

    Also I’d probably just dump a bunch of money into my kids name to let it start building interest for them.

      I’m confused you just randomly have the lotto numbers from a decade back memorized?

    Divorce her earlier and keep more of my equity in the house I bought before we were married.

    I would chill more, sleep around more, enjoy college more, and probably choose a different career. Also bet big on the Chiefs winning some Superbowls.
