You wake up and it's 1990. Youre still your age and you have a bag with 5k in cash with you. What do you do?

  • Oof. I'd be me at the tail end of apartheid in my country. I'm going to assume (and hope) that this timeline magic also puts me in my home town of the vicinity of where I was at that time because then I'd at least know where to go to find the people I would want to be around. I'd go straight to where the alternative scene is and get in with the punks and goths and hippies, so that I'm at least around decent people. Might even meet some of the people that I knew when I got into the scene originally as their younger selves, which would actually be pretty cool.

    As for what I'd do to survive, honestly not sure, considering that I would still be the same age that I am now with the same lack of career and shit. I guess I'd just keep doing this or that for a while. With my limited knowledge, maybe invest a little in Microsoft, then Facebook at the appropriate times. Until Bitcoin is a new thing, then I'd definitely dump whatever cash I had into a few Bit oin. Then be rich enough to never worry about anything again at like 70 years old or something lol.
