People say the 90's were great but it's usually because they were a kid then and free to enjoy things without responsibilities.

But if you were an adult?

Let's say you travel back in time to 1990 as your current age and had to tough out the decade.

Could you do it?

No, but only because I'm used to handling forms online. I would just die in a world of paper management.

If I was an adult then, obviously yes.

If I'm traveling back in time to live like that, hell no.

Ugh, I'd have to mail so much stuff.

On the plus side, I probably wouldn't have to worry about my neighbors calling child services when I let my kids play alone in the yard.

Sure. I've skills in a few trades that I could use. Heck, with everything so much simpler to work on, I could half ass it and still be among ther best in any company.

This is assuming we're not allowed to use our knowledge of events to get easy cash, sports betting/stocks/etc, and actually have to work.

Probably. I'd just have to get used to not having easy computer and/or Internet access.

I was an adult in the 90s. It was fine.

Yup, money was worth more. Everything cost less, (goes without saying) a house in the 90s that sold for 50k is going for 300k today for example.
