I'd say knowing to buy AAPL at $5 share is pretty much guaranteed money too
A 10 year old is going to have a lot of problems scratching up capital to buy stock or open a brokerage account. Maybe by 15 he can mow some lawns and convince his parents to cosign a Charles Schwab account or something. And even then he's going to have a hard time turning whatever he can save up into $25 million over the next 10 years.
I think a lot of people would be tempted to relive high school and college for the sex aspect. But that's fool's gold. If you weren't getting laid by hot chicks when you were younger I doubt that will change if you get a do-over with the wisdom of hindsight and more knowledge and experience. That's not the way young girls work. "Oh wow, this dorky small kid with acne seems so clever and wise beyond his years, maybe I'll have sex with him instead of the cool quarterback!" Not happening.
Take the guaranteed money and the adult platform. Those teenage years weren't as great as you think they were and you won't improve on them as much as you think.

You make a convincing argument.
I would argue that most shots you didn’t take at a younger age were due to lack of confidence or wit. You may be the exception but 99% of boys at that age are still figuring things out.

Good points.
I was thinking more about saving a life or 2 and giving a couple of proper goodbyes than the money.

When I was 18 it was 18 cents/share. I'd do alright. Maybe not at 10 but I'd be a wealthy adult and also get teleported back to the 80s

Take out 100k in student loans between 2000-2006 and I could be the world's first trillionaire by 2017.
The first seven years would mainly just be talking to my grand parents about life.
