I'd buy so much real estate in the "it" cities...New York (Brooklyn), San Francisco, Portland, Denver, Nashville, Austin, Atlanta...That way my lineage would be set with checks coming into the mail.

That means if your car with poor gas mileage breaks down on a road that's NOT an interstate...because they aren't around yet...you'll have to flag down STRANGERS and ask for help.

Thats why i'd travel everywhere by horse drawn carriage.

Carriage breaks down, you just get on the horse.

Let's just say I would be slightly disappointed.

Make millions and then disappear. I wouldn't need more, I wouldn't require less. I don't need to be biff. I sure as hell don't want to be trump.

I'd take all the money I won on sports bets and invest in insurance companies. Warren Buffett said he would be worth hundreds of times more than he is now if he would have invested directly in insurance companies instead of taking over BH.

First, I would beat everyone to the punch on some really simple inventions,like the George Foreman Grill,microwave oven,breathe right strips..etc..make billions of dollars,then....

I would start buying the coolest cars,and hiding them in a big barn.

Socially most of us would not fit in very well. We would have no record of having fought in WW2 which would make us pussies to most of society.

You'd have to know how cell phones are made. You can't just patent an idea.

STRANGERS


In the 50s were good Samaritans. Just to put the 50s and the present day in perspective - how many people do you actually know that said "oh, I just can't live without this" back then as compared to present day that say the same thing?

It's pretty much a none to infinity comparison if you're being honest.

I'd be so fricking prescient that the POTUS would have me as his personal Minister without Portfolio. I'd influence him to build a wall along the US border with Mexico.

Poof!

No Owlie!

PS: They had depilatory products in the 50s and some women used them, not every bush then was a gorse berry variety.
