Oh man...sadly, I would never have meet most of my friends, which would instantly suck. But I know it is predictable, but I would take advantage of bitcoin mining. I would annoy the fuck out of my parents to get to it. I would seek to get my hands on the internet as soon as possible!

And of course, if I make money on time, buy Pokemon Platinum with bitcoin.

I would use all the money to create passive income, and spend most of my time studying, exercising, taking care of my health, just to go to an university to get a career in AI engineering, knowing how important it would become. But I would try a different path to today's advanced AI, attempting to beat the big companies to it...

You're not time traveling, you're de-ageing.

No, what is the point? Hard pass.

At no point in the question was it optional. You've suddenly been de-aged with all of your current knowledge, what do you do? Do some improve my dude.
