Buy shit loads of Bitcoin.
Right down as much about upcoming chronology as I can to make a plan.
Not sure, but anything I do different could ruin what I have now so I’d absolutely hate it.
I’m married with a kid and one on the way, and in the summer of 2015 my wife and I almost divorced. Not sure I could save the marriage twice.
Not sure I could handle not having my daughter anymore. She if the light of my life.
I’d hopefully find a way to get back to this exact spot in my life
Go and kiss my eldest daughter, she’s not doing anything wrong she has autism. Give myself a kiss and a hug too because I’m also autistic. And the baby I’m about to have with have autism too.
Wipe out my debt and get a house on a lot of land.
Buy apple and Amazon.
Hug and talk to my best friend. 🤍
Figure out exactly what day I rescued my dog (about 8 years ago) and start saving money for her future vet bills so they could catch her tumor in time to save her.
I don’t want ten years I just want to go back to last September, If only I could go back there things would be different now
I lost her 💔
Save democracy
Stocks… and yeah, figure out crypto and buy bitcoin (will sell orders already in place).
Also… buy a ton of Gamestop shares at a few dollars a share and put in a sell order for $300/share.
Presuming I wake up and get pulled back to the future in eight hours. I would spend eight hours slaughtering my enemies.
Glorious Murder
Happy cry, and get it right this time
Check my bank account
Quit smoking immediately
Seriously run from the woman I’m about to waste an entire decade on. Complete genuine narcissist with violent tendencies… including attacking another woman with a knife over frickin rose bushes. Went to court over it, yet came out as the victim. ???!?!!? Thief also. Never got my belongings back from her. Said I had nothing there… anyway, obviously I still hold a wee bit o anger. TMI I should have stopped after the first sentence.
Stop F-ing around with job websites and get the temp job that finally got me a full-time AFSCME union backed state job.
On January 2015,
NVIDIA’s stock price is USD $0.40.
That’s the first thing i would do.
Attention to the warning signs from my son.
Call my parents!! They’re both gone now. If I could go back, I’d try to save them… it would consume me lol. Mom died of an OD and dad died from Covid. It’s probably best I can’t go back. I’d spend the entire time trying to fix my mom, and keep my dad inside. Lol
Place big bets against Hillary
I’d decide not to sell my house until 2020. (Six bedroom, two bath in a pretty good location.)
Insist strongly on therapy, even though my parents weren’t really receptive to the idea
Hug my daughter a little tighter
Hand that envelope with the words “told you so” inside to be opened in 10 years.
Then, relocate and find someone that loves me.
Buy as much bitcoins as possible and learn how to code, then create the famous apps we are all using rn lmao
File for divorce, get mental health help, and seek help for alcoholism.
What I actually did was stay miserable, have an affair, get separated, seek mental help, get marriage counseling, get separated again, and get divorced anyway.
It was a difficult decade the way I did it.
Oh, and buy nvidia and Facebook.
Probably shoot myself before it’s to late lmao 🤣
Invest in Nvidia.
Buy bitcoin
Sell everything and leave the country.
Good question. This is around the time where the Fallout 4 hype started to die down, and I was still with my ex gf at the time before she started one of her fits.
Buy mega millions tickets
I’m really content with my life after a lot of effort to get it that way. I’m also very lucky not to have experienced loss in the last 10 years. I can hand on heart say I wouldn’t do anything differently other than use the memories I have today to comfort me when times weren’t great in those 10 years.
Bitcoin. Buy as much as I possibly can.
Call my mom and tell her to go see a doctor. She died of lung cancer in August 2015. It only took 2 weeks from diagnose to death.
Betting for Leicester City winning the English Football Premier League 2015-2016 season (5000 odds)
Break up with the psycho, that’s for sure..
I’d go find him before we both end up marrying the wrong people
Buy bitcoin!!
End things with my ex, drop out of my first attempt at a Bachelor’s and switch to getting my Associate’s, call/visit my grandma more.
Tell my mother what happens to her children after she decides to kill herself.
I know trying to change things is like the last thing you’re supposed to do if you time travel but if you ask me suicide isn’t something that is ever supposed to happen anyway.
Ahhh… 2015! I was young then, I would force my parents to buy Bitcoin stocks even if they aren’t really in investing.
Bitcoin and heavy gambling on sporting events.
Pet my dog.
Stop spending money foolishly.
Go to a cardiologist and fix the hole in my heart that I didn’t know I had, so I won’t have a stroke.
And buy Bitcoin.
Try to date my husband who I already knew in high school. I sometimes wish we could’ve been high school sweethearts
I think everyone else will cover the standard bits. Bitcoin, investments, money, property. I’m going to assume I’d do the same, and at least end up fairly well off financially, so will skip to the more personal stuff.
I stop eating and drinking so much shit, and take up yoga way sooner. I look after my teeth better.
I talk to my mum more, and try to help my brother treats her better, I do everything within my power to change his behaviour without forcing or coercing him, in the hope that he is a better person than he appears, who has just been misguided in our current lives. I make sure she gets checked out by the doctors sooner, before it’s too late.
I tell (and show) my wife how much I love her, more often and with more meaning, and do my best to help her work on loving herself more.
Finally, I assume I can engineer my finances so that I have enough money to drop at least two days a week at work, and for my wife to do the same. I make it a point to spend one of those days with my family and friends, and spend the other doing good deeds in my community, as my way of thanking whatever benevolent force has given me this gift.
Extreme existential terror.
I’d be six. I’d pursue theater, not math.
Tell people not to vote for mango mussolini because he will be deporting us citizens at this point 10 years later!
Vegas
Leave. If I knew 10 years ago what I know now, I’d run away and never be found again.
Make a note to not go to spirit lake casino on a certain day. I played a shoe at $25 a piece and won 2 hands out of the 4 decks they played (they cut off like 2) I lost over $1000 in that one shoe
Then I’ll do the other stuff like buy bitcoin and everything else
Start saving
I would campaign much harder for Clinton. Much, much harder
Save myself the trouble
Buy bitcoin!
Throw out the woman who was living with me a year sooner than I actually did. Invest correctly. Find a way to make certain national and global political changes. Hey, one person can make a difference.
Buy apple and chase like crazy
Invest differently
Bet on Leicester to win the league.
Contact BOTH of those 18 year olds I was talking to messing with and keep them around in every way I know po$$ible.
get rid of satoshi nakamoto
where’s my dog 🥺
[ Removed by Reddit ]
apply to grad school a year earlier and avoid the really terrible job.
Go see my grandma.
I was going to say “try to find my current partner to bump into him sooner,” but we weren’t ready for each other. I would bet on some sports, and relax.
End my relationship
Hug my dog.
Am I the same age? or am I 7 years old again? If I’m 7 then shit. I missed the date by almost a year. I was adopted when I was 6. If I’d been 6, then I would tell them I didn’t want to live with these people. I would ask to go somewhere else. But somewhere that I could still meet my besties and my bf. How long am I stuck 10 years ago? Do I have to live for another 10 years while my real self is kinda frozen?
Invest in stocks and join the military.
Get in the habit of working out more outside of gyms.
Given my situation in 2015, there’s not much I could do differently than I did the first time around. I did the best I could with what I had.
Make amends with my sister while she’s still alive and make happy memories with her and my kids.
Not hire the little weasel who ultimately took my job during Covid.
Move to another country.
Nothing. I do nothing.
I don’t leave my abusive boyfriend. I still marry him. I don’t change a damn thing. Ten years would be just enough time back to change course and avoid all of that heartache and pain… But I wouldn’t…for two reasons.
First, foremost, because I know why it’s worth it; my child is my whole world. I would walk over that broken glass over and over and over for that perfect little face.
Second because I know it won’t be so bad this time because I know where I’ll end up – I’m sitting here typing this in a beautiful home in the middle of the lovely life I built far away from who I was ten years ago. I wouldn’t change a minute.
I might buy into some crypto though. Just because.
Punch myself square in the face. And then go buy bitcoin.
Leave Scientology almost a decade earlier. Hard to lose all your beliefs and sense of identity all at once when I was brought up on it until my 30s
Go sober a decade earlier
Do NOT buy the house I’m in now, as storms will knock some big trees on it and destroy it.
Twenty fifteen I had no money and abysmal job prospects and in five years Covid would be a thing all over again…?
Not sure what would change I would have knowledge ten years ahead but none of the money to really do anything different.
The only really big change I would tell my then former almost girlfriend how I felt about her and tried my best to persuade her to marry me instead of the guy she ended up with…
Oh wait that makes me Ted mosby from how I met your mother when he runs to her apart before her then boyfriend would knock me out with one punch.
Buy Nvidia stock.
I would not befriend the toxic piece of shit I did over Covid. I will always be able to earn money, but the hell I go through with this person is not worth my sanity.
Move to another country
Buy 20 modable phones and flash custom roms in all of them
Let’s go back 20 and then we will talk
Bitcoin, TSLA, NVDA, and VOO.
Holy crap. Not 2015. It was a year of hell at work. Yes I survived but it was bonkers. At least I would dodge the mistakes that I am going to make.
I would also pitch the idea I had that was just published this year. My boss would poop his pants at the genius of it.
I would also be able to give my eldest the support they needed so they could come out years earlier and reassure them that I am proud of them always.
I would also probably divorce my wife.
The rest would work itself out.
Be a better dad.
Start skin care! Also move out of the US.
10 years? Meh. 30 years and I can fix the world
Make my dad go for that check up. Get the operation he needed. Tell him to stop putting it off because he felt fine. Tell his doctor that another 2 years before the operation is needed is too long.
I’d go through all the pain of losing him for just one more day to sit with him and talk. It’s been 5 years and I miss him every day. Best Dad ever.
move to Tampa and buy a house on a nice piece of land.
Demand that my doctor get me into an epileptologist, she was a nurse practitioner and trying to give me seizure medication.
Go above and beyond to spend as much time with my best friend as I can, and even if I can’t prevent his death at least I would know I did everything I could, and I would get more memories with him.
And I’d tell people what was happening in my home. I was too afraid of people thinking negatively of my mom or afraid that us kids would get taken away because I knew it would make her sad. Now that I’m not brainwashed by her anymore, I know it would have been a good thing if we got out, and I wish every day that my younger siblings could escape.
Buy stock and leave the fiance
Get On A Plane, And Assault A Cocktail Waitress.

Mourn my son, then get a vasectomy. Even matching the circumstances exactly would result in a completely different child being born.
Also, buy Bitcoin, Amazon, GameStop, Tesla, etc. I don’t remember peaks or timing, but it wouldn’t matter.
Bitcoin!!
Not stress about a job loss because I stay employed all that time.
I would schedule a mental health appointment asap and meet with a therapist. Even tho I dont like to live with regret, it would have helped me tremendously.
Fucking kill myself, I don’t want to worry about having to recreate every event exactly as it happened before to get back to where I am for the next 10 years.
BTC
Look forward to ten wonderful years of not having to worry about all the things I spent those ten years worrying about which did not, in fact, happen.
Save the world a lot of headache and remove 1 person.
Stop talking to Josh. He’s bad for me. Lesson learned. He’s not your soul mate. He doesn’t even like himself let alone enough to like you. Walk away and don’t cry over people who don’t have the capability to care about you.
Dump my gf in a disrespectful manner. Buy bitcoin, go back to school, stay away from alcohol, re-court my future long term girlfriend.

Bitcoin and nvidia … buy buy buy ..
