She will not keep a single promise

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?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I could start my transition 10 years earlier.

TIL that knowledge is for personal gain.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

We're all capitalist girls living in a capitalist world.

Come on barbie let's go... accumulate knowledge for the sole purpose of extracting wealth.

Not as fun of a song :/

Since bitcoin is out, I'd buy all the Tesla stock I can.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Dogecoin maybe?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Nvidia is also a good option

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Buy Tesla stock, sell at peak, buy Nvidia stock.

Don’t forget Zoom

I would help myself become more confident, less anxious and a better person.

I know that sounds lame but that alone would be worth more than any stock tips to me.

Sending my mind back to the past is the wish I keep in my back pocket to blurt out if I see a falling star or meet a geanie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

This is what I would do. My charisma stat is way higher than it was as a kid, so I might be able to make my school years less hell.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

~~I would buy stock in various companies such as NVIDIA, GME, AMC, etc.~~ Bet on political events such as Obama getting to appoint a Supreme Court justice who doesn't confirmed, how Trump announces his presidency, Trump winning the presidency, January 6, and Harris being Biden's running mate, Harris telling Biden "We did it, Joe", and Biden winning the Presidency. Can't forget Pence's fly friend during the debate.

I would give it another go with my ex since I would be aware of the issues that developed. If it doesn't work again, that would be a major mind fuck.

Getting in business with my current business partner, wouldn't have such a rough start since I still have the skills and knowledge from running a business.

Probably go seduce my wife as a stranger.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I wouldn't change anything, but I would be far less stressed that everything would work out just fine.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Purchase NVIDIA Stock.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Harambe, whatever happens, dont try to play with a child, that does not go well

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Buy bitcoin, then eth when it's released, then solana when it's released. Sell at the top and start a cat sanctuary.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nvidia gme and btc. And obviously more time with the dog.

If my previous consciousness coexisted: Support my young shitbrain self in the tough times he's going through and become the best supporter anyone could ever want...or maybe that already happened and that's why I'm constantly being sidetracked.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Buy Bitcoin, short DJT. Stockpile TP.

Mostly stock market shit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I'd tell Koby about the chopper

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Knowledge is power to make money to get more power.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Moderna and Phizer stocks with every cent I could muster

Quit my shitty job I had then

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Let's see... that would be 2014... Uh... Fuck. Yeah, crypto is the only answer. 🤷🏻‍♂️

And more personally: I wouldn't get married. I wouldn't even go down the path that led me to meet my ex-wife. Fuck all that.
