Current Events > $10 billion OR you get to relive your life again but with all the info you have

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ever wonder if you could start your life again, but not make the mistakes you made?

Start over and get my parents to invest like crazy. Easy.

$10 Billion.

It'd be nice seeing my Mom again, but I think some things in life are set in stone and I had a pretty bad childhood and I don't want to relive that.
---

The money. Not only do I get 10 Billion dollars, but any mistakes I made led me to where I am, which is a pretty happy life.
---

Money. As i am now, my childhood would get ruined as well. With money i have some chance in happiness in future.
---

I'm still young enough and I didn't make any life changing mistakes, so I'd take the money.

the money.
---

I'll take the money over being a child prodigy, thanks
---

The money. I'm still young enough, and it's not like redoing my life would help that much. Certainly not 10 billion worth.
---

I'd be a trillionaire AND be regarded as the greatest human ever with the knowledge of facebook, twitter, and snapchat

Start over, invest in gold when it was about $200 an oz, Apple, before the iphone, then bit coins.

Good luck convincing your parents to do anything on the advice of a child. I know that, in this situation, you know good financial advice, but there is no reason for your parents to believe you.

You guys need to dwell on the past more if you take the money

Dwelling on the past is bad for your health. I'd still carry any mental scars through this "new childhood." I can make my life a lot better in the future with the money.

Money. Being a billioaniare is enough to get me over my past mistakes and regrets.
---

money no question. Having to relive my life would drive me insane.

$10 billion

because honestly my regrets are all tied to not having enough money anyways

can I choose when exactly I can start over?

They'd believe me once I predicted a few key events.

I'd like to think I could do my life better a second time around, but I'd probably end up screwing myself over. I'm pretty satisfied where I am.

Relive life.
Pick winning lotto numbers.

I'll take the $10b, reliving life would be too weird.

Still less money than $10B

and if you win more than that through lotto, the CIA will find out you're a time traveler and experiment on you ;>_>
---

Hmmm. Relive life. My stock market investments would make a killing.
---

Relive life. I could drastically alter the course of my entire life with one single decision. Also, knowing I'd end up wanting to become a girl, I'd spend a lot less time playing so much at the playground and other things that contribute to muscle growth. Not sure if it's possible to do anything about shoulders during development, though...

I'd probably lose all the people I know now, but it'd be a small price to pay. Maybe I could try learning Japanese earlier in my life, or actually go to places I've wanted to go. Maybe actually move out way earlier than I did...

And a few people I met online, I could probably meet them again in a few years. Only thing is, I've have to commit to memory the exact places and estimated date/times I met them if I want to meet them again.

10 billion dollars is nice, but it can't change the results of how my body developed for these 30 years. I know that with my genes, there's a limit to what I can do, but perhaps I can do a lot better given a second chance. There's a lot of fun things I can spend on with $10 billion, but it also can't change every terrible mistake and decision I've made during my life.

...Although, maybe I'll try memorizing the numbers for that $1.5 billion lottery from last year... That would be pretty nice.
---

No way in hell would I want to go through 18 years of school all over again.

Plus gaming would suck, since I'd already have played the shit out of all the new games 10-20 years before they came out.

I take reliving my life.

With all the sports knowledge I have then, I won´t need the 10 Billion
---

Money, I'm not interested in reliving all of that terrible shit.
---

The money.

If I relived my life, I may never have my daughter. No amount of money is worth losing her.

I am stunned the results of the poll are this close.

I am stunned it's not the other way around, guess people haven't figured out what they could do to improve their lives in the first place

Money. No telling how reliving my life would work out and I can honestly think of a few times where foresight would've made things worse or even gotten me killed. I went through it, I made it out alive, and am still young enough to enjoy being a billionaire.
---

Relive my life.

I'd only make a select few subtle changes for most of my life. Maybe fool around with a couple girls in middle/high school that I was too blind to realize were into me until way too late. But I'd keep myself on the same general track until college, just to make sure I would still meet Danielle. At which point I would not fuck that up the second time around. v_v

Also, of course, I'd memorize a few of the lottery numbers for the really big jackpots for the drawing before they actually got hit. So that way I'd be the only person with the right numbers and wouldn't have to split the money. Then I'd invest my winnings into a few choice companies at a few choice moments (Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, etc). Win $100M, invest it and turn it into $1B, reinvest that...it would be pretty damn easy to surpass the $10 billion mark honestly.

On the one I would like to enjoy the rest of my life with the money

Then on the other hand, reliving life and changing decisions that hurt me would be beneficial. I would likely make more money than 10 billion due to investments and avoid people that used me but something worse might have happen to me in that relived life. Life is never going to be perfect either way you choose. Tough decision

"Mom and dad you've always been nice to me, don't go into the stock market in '07/'08"

"Thanks fam"

So no one would help to prevent 9-11?

Lol at people thinking they would surpass 10b in investments starting at lower or middle class.

Some of us are upper middle class at the very least.

I could get that sports almanac and make billions and go back in time.

Money please. Could you imagine using dial up again?

$10 billion covers any mistakes I've made or will make, plus I don't want to go through school again.

I'm actually kind of surprised at the results.

Win the lottery once = no longer lower or middle class. Investment funds galore. Easily break 10b with prescient knowledge and a couple hundred million from lottery winnings in startup cash. Invest it at the ground floor of just Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook and you're already into the billions. You're delusional if you think it would be even remotely challenging, honestly.
