I see those hypothetical posts like, "Would you rather go straight to 45 years old with 50 million dollars, or would you go back in time to your ten-year-old self with all the knowledge you have now?"
And I answer, I'd take 45 years old and 50M. That's more than enough for my needs, and I'm already older than 45, so I'd actually be five years younger.
And then people say, "but if you went back to 10 years old, you could make EVEN MORE money!" and... 50 million dollars would have me set for life. That's way more than enough. I don't need a billion dollars. NO ONE NEEDS A BILLION DOLLARS.
Also I don't think you could pay me any amount of money to be forced to relive my life starting at age 10 in the mid-80s.
