    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?

    I’d pump out the MAGA merchandise. I’m talking grift of biblical proportions.

    Would you like a cherry on top? After becoming America’s #1 purveyor, I’d go all out telling the world that I got rich suckering rubes.

    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.

    I’d probably just shoot my younger self. It’s not suicide when it’s murder. Or something. Anyway obliterating the universe with a paradox would definitely be a better result than the hell we’re currently living in.

    I’m doing this from memory to stay in the spirit of the question. I’d buy ethereum, then pivot to zoom in early 2020, pivot back to etherum mid 2020, then finally to NVIDIA at the end of 2022. I’ll look up how well my memory works have served me.

      OK, I did the math. I could turn $1K into $74M in 10 years with that strategy. I lost a year of growth because I thought Ethereum was released in 2013 however it was the white paper that was released in 2013, the coin started public trading in August 2015. Either way, I’d still be happy with that return.

      • 2014-06-19 twiddle my thumbs because Ethereum hasn’t been released yet
      • 2015-08-01 $1.00 = 3.22ETH
      • 2020-01-02 3.22ETH = $421.24 = 6.12 ZOOM shares (also buy toilet paper and n95 masks)
      • 2020-06-01 6.12 ZOOM = $1538.262 = 6.80ETH
      • 2022-12-30 6.80ETH = $8170.67 = 570.18 NVIDIA shares
      • 2024-06-18 570.18 NVIDIA = $74773.41

    You saying “right now” kinda ruins it :)

    I’d rather take two more hours to collect some data from the stock markets, and how they went up and down after our beloved lunatic CEO’s bigmouth accidents.

    First I wouldn’t buy my Mustang, I’d rebuild my Jeep and stick to Offroading instead of racecars wayyy cheaper over time. Then I wouldnt get out of the Army because the real world sucks, from there everything I know now wouldn’t have happened and I probably wouldn’t even live in the State I live in now

    One thing I’m learning from these types of questions is that knowledge isn’t power, money is. There is precious little I could do with future knolewedge outside of personal/family matters without first using that knowledge to make as much money as possible.
