As I was reading this, I disappeared in a flash of light and landed in 1945. But I have a plan.
- Learn acoounting, get a job, grind for 10 or so years
- Start investing in Ford, GE etc. and wait for the compound interest to kick in
- Buy a farm, continue to invest. Retire "early"
- Grow a beard, get some white hair paint
- Travel to "relatives" in Australia for 6 months every year
- While in Australia, get rid of beard, set up alternative identity as my own nephew, get involved in fledgling computer domain, invest
- Back home, take up fishing, end up disappearing at sea one day, nephew inherits everything
- I am nephew. Got enough money now to stop working, buy a vineyard in NZ, spend 6 months in the year abroad
- Invest in IBM, I should be filthy rich by now
- Hire professionals to set up a dozen or so alternate identities in English speaking countries. Kill nephew, avoid Australia for the next 20 years
- Numbered Swiss accounts, different looks, pro theatre makeup, the works. By now my 10+ offshore companies own 10% of Berkshire Hathaway between them
- Rotate identities as needed. Invest in the dot com bubble from 100+ offshore shell companies. Cash in and buy tech stocks after the crash. I am now richer than God, but still not intervene in not-yet-current affairs
- No posh events, no media, no socials ffs. My ghosts come and go. I own a few law firms that take care of business and identity management. When suspicions arise, I change countries. Ireland works for a while. I now own 10-20% of all major tech companies, because I bought them before it was cool
- I get into crypto early. Money has no meaning anymore. I mark the days and months remaining to May 19, 2026, when all of this began. I need to insert myself into my old life right as past me begins the journey, will probably feign a nasty flu afterwards to get back on track. Small price to pay for total freedom
And here we are. Money wise, I own about half the world and now I can finally act. Where should I start?
