You are stuck this way for 2 years but will revert back like nothing happened. Doesn't matter how or why it happened, but it did. Your monetary status, family & friend status as it is now will be the same once you get back to 2023. It will be like you never left and nothing you do in the 90s can change that. You will also not see any of your family or friends while in the early 90s or have any interaction with them. You're required to live life in the early 90s. Whatever job or lifestyle you currently have (or don't have), you will be in a similar status or role to the closest equivalent in the early 90s. In order to return back to 2023, you will at least need to maintain your current wellbeing (socially, financially, etc) at the end of the 2 year mark. You can use the knowledge you have now, but you can't really go around talking about it or becoming exceedingly wealthy during your time there. No one will believe you and it just won't work out.

Norman_Smiley 01/25/23 11:21:06 PM #25:	This is a bit convoluted. So if I was working at some job paying say $100k a year today, that would be about $48k in 1992. So basically I would magically show up working for a job equivalent to what I have today, but making like $48k. If I have an apartment or own a house today, I would have an apartment or own a house in this time. In order to succeed, I basically need to continue making at least $48k a year and having a house or apartment? Is that it? If they leave the job they have, they will magically have a resume that allows them to continue or what? And socially, you magically have as many friends then as you do now and have to maintain that number? What about someone that is unemployed and has $10k to their name, equivalent of $4800 in 1992.
