Current Events > 10 million dollars or you get to go back to age 10

(+) Yeah! (+)

You retain everything you know at your current age and your mind will work like it does today.

Time travel

Time travel

And I would do that even if it meant no retention of what Ive learned since age ten.
---

Am I going back in time to 2007 or am I just turning into a 10 year old?
---

you go back in time and have the mind you had before time travel yet everything happens exactly the same and you're now in a mental prison
---

Also, people are gonna pull that lottery/bet on game shit on you. Even though they don't actually know any numbers or scores to anything

I'll choose that then lol

Age 10 easily. Then use fast food money to buy a shitload of Amazon stocks and bitcoin when they become available.

Haha fuck that. I'd have a nervous breakdown if I had to go through that abuse again

I'd only want the power if I could use it at a later date. I have no need to restart my life at the moment, but I'm sure I'd want it once I'm old and dying.

Give me the money. I sure as hell didn't make 10 million with the knowledge I currently have, if I had to do my life over again I'd probably end up exactly where I am now.
---

a little late for when I'd actually want to go back but good enough I'll take it

---

Defo go back in time.

Get with my wife 9 years earlier, start with the company I'm with now 8 years earlier. If I had started at 18, I'd be an owner and making at least triple what I do now.

Easily take the time travel.
---

Money. The time travel sounds trash to me as someone who likes his life.
---

Age 10, easily.
Even if I couldn't make easy money until I'm 18, it would still be worth it.
I'd be a millionaire like 2 days after I turn 18.

Not to mention being able to fix all the dumb shit I did.

Give me the time travel. I'd be old enough to invest in a few things like bitcoin by the time they came around so I'd easily make more than $10 mil there. I'm also pretty damn sure I could convince my parents that my consciousness was from the future. There would be investment opportunities galore.

Plus, it'd be nice to go back to a time with zero responsibilities. Everyone has a few regrets, and I wouldn't feel bad about fixing them since I'd already gone through it once and learned from my mistakes. I'd miss my current friends a lot though... It'd be hard holding off on making contact with them until the time was right.

Having my current mind but having to live as a 10 year old would be awful.

Who the fuck would want that?

10 million

Why?
I'd just ace everything in school with ease, go out to play with friends and then play videogames whole evening long.

Yeah....no. Maybe it's just me but the idea of going back to elementary school and hanging out with children doesn't sound very appealing.

$20m. I don't fuck with time.
---

Time travel.
---

if you have even half a brain, you'd be able to make more than 10 mil with the knowledge of future investments to make so the choice is clear

10.

Save my dad by getting him into treatment earlier. Also make buttloads of money via the stock market. Also become the most legendary videogame leaker of all time
---

Give me the money. 10 million is more than I'd ever need anyway and I have no desire to go through school again.
---

Time travel to make millions and save the lives of family members who passed too soon.

Go back to age 10. As apparently one of the older users on the board, that'd put me square in the middle of 1995. I'd be an adult in 2003, fully capable of taking my own money and using it to make a shitload more money without any silly lottery scams or whatever. Just making some prudent investmensts. Hell, just Amazon alone would go from around $40 a share when I turn 18 to $2000 a share 15 years later. Or even better, cash out early and buy into bitcoin.

That's even beside being able to go back and fix all the shit I fucked up over time. Definitely would have finished college way sooner at the very least
---

I would buy so much Bitcoin

Just bet shitloads of money on the winner of every Superbowl, World Series, Stanely Cup, and NBA Championship. That would make you just as much or more then investing in Amazon.

See, this is the breakdown of this sort of hypothetical. I could not tell you the first winner of ANY of these. The average person wouldn't be able to tell you more than a couple, and probably only the most recent ones. However, I definitely know which major companies went from being worth very little to a whole damn bunch in the last 24 years.
---

Will I have to kill my 10 y.o self and take his place or will I just kill him by transferring my current self into his body?

Traveling back in time with all the knowledge I know now is literally what I fantasize about 90% of the time.
---

Money

Got a wife, kid on the way...the only thing that will make me more happy is money
---

Traveling back in time, I could save a lot of people or do something to help them and also win money on the side by placing bets as I get older.

I'll choose 10 years old again.

Go back to 10 , so I can see my grandparents some more, and know that I should call them more. Money can't buy that back.

Just betting as much money as you have in 2004 at the start of the season that the Red Sox will sweep the World Series will set you up for ten lifetimes. No one would take you seriously if you made that bet. They would all think you are crazy so the odds would be like a million to one. You would essentially have nine years to save every penny you ever come across to put everything up for that bet. If you could make a 30,000 dollar bet you would come out with a million or more most likely.

Time travel. When I was 10 years old I had my best teacher ever, the original PlayStation was release, and I lived in my favorite house we've ever had. I'd have the opportunity to correct every major mistake I've made in my life. Money has nothing on that.
---

Back to age 10
---

I'd take the 10 million now, because I actually really like where my life is now and 10 million would make things perfect. If I went back to 10, I'd be too scared that I wouldn't end up getting the kids I currently have. I might end up with a different woman and have different kids then it would always weigh on me that my original kids are gone forever.

I have a specific set of mega millions numbers memorized for just such an occasion

You don't need to win the lotto to get rich, just invest into the companies you know are going to do really, really well. Like Amazon or Google. Even Bitcoins

You know which items are going to have value in the future. For example, this would put me back in 1993, when Magic The Gathering was first starting up. Any idea how much those cards are worth now? Let alone sealed boxes

Yeah, this is a great point. Pretty much every toy I bought would stay in its packaging.
