Wait like restart as in go back in time to the year I was 6 or restart as in become a 6 year old in 2024. Because if it's the former hell yeah stocks, bitcoin, sports betting back to the future style. If it's the latter fuck that.

Even if 2024, think how much smarter and further ahead of your peers you'd be:

  • you're now at the head of the class
  • you job hunt, network, save like a pro
  • you're the most mature person in the room
  • you get to live like a young person again (something I'd pay a lot to do)

Downsides: never meet my partner and kids, gotta do the whole no-income thing again for a while

Given the world's current political and environmental state. I'm not sure it'll be around in 10 years except maybe in a mad max form.

Plus who would be your parents? You'd have to be interested with a current one. That's a huge risk, also.

I'm thinking the situation would be, you would be reverting to 6 year old you in 2024, living with your spouse and kids.. at that point I think I would be fine
