Financial Time Machine
Posted by Cap in Personal Finance on April 28, 2006 |Been writing up some post on my past financial fubar. As I cringe while working on the months-old drafts, I find myself wishing for a freaking time machine. Which is stupid. But eh, it’s wishful thinking.
If I have a financial time machine, I would go back in time and:
Punch myself in the face and say three words: “Delay gratification, moron.”

I would lend my 20 year old self some money. I needed it more then. But I would make sure I paid my older self back when I could afford it.

I would like to go back to about age 14 and make myself not buy ANYTHING but the total necessities from then until now. I can’t even imagine how much money I would have! :-(

Isn’t that some kinda financial time travel paradox? If you go back in time and lend yourself the money.. uh, what happens if you don’t pay yourself back? plus, who earned the money first? um nevermind.
If I went back just half a decade ago and stopped myself from buying crap, I would seriously probably have an additional 20k into my net worth.
Freaking time machine

The space-time continuum is pretty complicated, but I’m pretty sure I can Western Union my younger self some money. Just gotta dust off the ol’ flex capacitor.
