Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

Back in time too, so if you're currently 40, you're heading back to 2005.

I’ll take the money. When I first met my wife she was married to someone else and had just had a baby. She was not at all on my radar back then and we hardly interacted with each other. About a decade later we reconnected and by then she was divorced and we really clicked.

It would be really hard to go back then and have to wait that long. I doubt I’d be able to convince her that she needs to leave her husband early for me based on my knowledge of the future, and I really wouldn’t have been ready to be a dad that young (she’s 6 years older than me), just out of college. If I could that might’ve saved a lot of issues.
