Besides crypto…
PPE and Vaccine maker stocks, it’ll be 5 years to get the initial capital but once I’ve got it together, those are gonna explode in value on me.
I’d hesitate to switch my college of choice for the friends I’d lose out on, but if I did I would know where I’d try extra hard to get in instead. Def reconsidering the major I study though, the one I went with was sold to me as one of the best and turned out to be fucking useless trying to find any work.
More hugging time with the dog. 10 years go by fast.
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.
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.
I would have started coding quicker and go into software development and leave the job I had.
Besides the obvious monetary stuff, I’d be going into my second year of university knowing that I am autistic and having learned a lot of the social skills and coping strategies that I learned from therapy. I’d probably be able to find a fulfilling relationship before I turned 20 (rather than 28), and I would have felt far more comfortable joining up with clubs and groups at school and developing a social network.
I often feel bad that I only started getting help with those aspects of myself within the last couple of years. But I wasn’t aware that I was autistic.

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.
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.
Let’s see… that would be 2014… Uh… Fuck. Yeah, crypto is the only answer. 🤷🏻♂️
And more personally: I wouldn’t get married. I wouldn’t even go down the path that led me to meet my ex-wife. Fuck all that.
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.
Bro, just put 10k into BTC in 2014 and you’re gonna do well.
OP said no crypto.
Why not though? It’s just stock market with less rules.
I’m not OP but I presume they out that constraint because everyone would say load up on coin.
Nah, not just monetary gain! Just wanted to get in front of the most obvious answer.
I’m doing this from memory to stay in the spirit of the question. I’d buy ethereum, then pivot to zoom in early 2020, pivot back to etherum mid 2020, then finally to NVIDIA at the end of 2022. I’ll look up how well my memory works have served me.
OK, I did the math. I could turn $1K into $74M in 10 years with that strategy. I lost a year of growth because I thought Ethereum was released in 2013 however it was the white paper that was released in 2013, the coin started public trading in August 2015. Either way, I’d still be happy with that return.
- 2014-06-19 twiddle my thumbs because Ethereum hasn’t been released yet
- 2015-08-01 $1.00 = 3.22ETH
- 2020-01-02 3.22ETH = $421.24 = 6.12 ZOOM shares (also buy toilet paper and n95 masks)
- 2020-06-01 6.12 ZOOM = $1538.262 = 6.80ETH
- 2022-12-30 6.80ETH = $8170.67 = 570.18 NVIDIA shares
- 2024-06-18 570.18 NVIDIA = $74773.41
Why not just look up numbers for a big lottery jackpot before you go back? Way quicker, much less effort?
Part of the question was “no time to prepare”
Get that ADHD diagnosis a lot earlier!
