The sperm that becomes you never exists, and if you were already alive then the person that was you becomes someone else with whatever butterfly effect that causes.

Whatever money you have now (adjusted for inflation) is available to you and you are given an equivalent job and apartment to rent or mortgage to what you have now.

In other words, that won't be an issue

Technically, the Internet was around back then. You would have to wait 20 years for the modern Internet to emerge (thanks to social media and smartphones). That said, the Internet really started taking off in the late 90s, so you would only have to wait about 7ish years for the Internet to be in what many would consider a state used by a decent amount of people.

Yea but all the stuff I like about the internet didn't happen til later. No streaming in 1989

I'm 40. If I was 40 in 89, I probably won't even survive to see 2021 a 2nd time
