    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.

    I’d go to my doctor and get a head start on what’s to come.

    I’d go to festivals and spend more time with friends.

    Leave an toxic relationship.

    But uh you probably meant how to make cash.

    Buy Gamestop, Nvidia & Pfizer stock.

    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’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’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.

    Nothing. No money for investments then or now, which is also why I never kept up enough with stocks, crypto etc. to be able to cheat the market as a one-time time traveller. Plus I have several medical issues (then and now) that remain unsolved mysteries.

    Only thing I can think of is using a bigger boot partition when I installed reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch about 5 years ago.

    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.

    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.
