Red one gives you both. Literally. Just buy Bitcoin or something.

Except it doesn't specify that you go back in time to when you were 6 years old, but that you "restart your life at 6 years of age" so a fairly reasonable interpretation would be that you'll be a 6 year old in 2024. Monkeys paw and all that.

Now, I personally think it's more interesting if it did mean that you went back in time.

Thats actually even better than just restarting. I already want to make it to 120 to see what 3 different centuries looks so this would make that unrealistic goal so much more accomplishable. Also i will have an idea of what medical things im going to look into and see what options i would have as a kid today vs 40+ years ago

Totally agree. 10 million dollars will never buy me those years back. With remote work I could probably make enough of a living to get by until I age back into adulthood. At the age of 6 I'd have a higher brain plasticity, so I literally could get smarter faster only this time I could direct all of my potential into something a little more useful then just learning how the world works. With modest investing I could easily get to 10 mil by the time I'm at my current age just due to compound interest.

And lastly I could easily reach 120, and with medical advancement who knows!

The more I think about it, being six years old again really wouldn't be that bad at all.

Edit: Assuming I'm still me but only younger, it's not like I'd have to go back to school again as I already have diplomas proving I've done that before. So I could probably just tell any potential employees that I have dwarfism until I age back up. With the right clothes, hair, and possibly a little makeup (to make me look older than 6), the second I open my mouth no one would believe I'm six and would assume I have some kind of congenital disease.
