Yeah but Studio 54 and the good cocaine vs. whatever shitty Vegas nightclub you wind up in in 2024.
Oh I forgot about quaaludes. Tuff call.

Curious as to why it seems like you think being rich in '74 would be better than being rich now? I can kinda see how being rich post pill and pre AIDS would be a pretty sweet spot, but, otoh, I think youād have the same gold digger issue in that time, and 2024 has some pretty cool stuff to blow your money on that didnāt exist in '74.
The 70s just looked a lot more fun than now, other than all the pubic hair. I could lose that.
Iām single with no kids. I make enough money for basically all of my needs. I donāt want to be rich. Nothing about it appeals to me.
Iām sure if I became rich Iād feel differently, and suddenly Iād really really need all that money to support my new lifestlye. Which is exactly why I donāt want to do it.
I guess so. The novelty/nostalgia factor probably holds less appeal for me as a gay woman, but the outfits and music were pretty sweetā¦
You could be a trendsetter 20 years early
Oh I would. Iād be introducing all my gold-digger Ukrainian underwear models to Brazilian wax. If it hasnāt been invented yet, Iād invent it.
Morally I feel if I went back 50 years I would have to kill baby Hitler

Oh yeah, also imagine the cigarette smoke. That would hit someone from 2024 like a ton of bricks.

With the knowledge of 5 decades of advanced music, you could become a pop/rock/rap star. ****, you could invent rap.
Obvious move though would be owning the internet.
You could make āThe Wireā as a Science Fiction show. How hilarious would that be?

I would give John Hinckley some lessons in marksmanship.
Convince mark david chapman to obsess on trump instead of john lennon. Pay for john hinkley jrās shooting lessons. Stock up on that good cocaine before drug dealers figure out they can stomp on it with impunity. The 80s could be a ball

If you went back or forward in time 50 years theres a real good chance youād be poor, though. I donāt buy that itās some certainty that youād be able to get rich from inventing things or sports betting. It might work, but I donāt think itās a question of being rich vs not, I think itās a question of being poor vs not.
