Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. 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.

Yeah, that's a good point. I took it as being a million to spend, but tax would take a big bite, depending on where you are.

I'm in the UK, so it converts to about £745,000 at the moment. I could buy a nice terraced house that I like for £175,000 and clear my existing mortgage and debts for about £60,000, so would have about half a million to spend. It's a lot, but wouldn't go as far as you'd think.

I'd still keep my kid though 🙂

That's fair.
