I gotta say, the top answer being the 10 million surprised the hell out of me. Especially from someone who's middle aged like myself. I had a pretty bad childhood myself, but the chance to get over 30 years of my life back and the wisdom to make better choices? I'd take that over ten billion dollars, and my life as an adult didn't turn out too bad. No amount of money can buy back your youth. Let alone the possibility of living long enough to see Elder Scrolls VI come out.

So I go back in time to an age where I had no money, no power to convince others to invest in a certain way, and to be completely frank - not enough knowledge of past events to actually capitalize on them. Okay maybe I can make some money buying apple stock, Nvidia, Gamestop and a few others. Cool. But by the time that happens, I need to go through a whole lifetime of doing everything just as I did it before, in order to not butterfly effect myself out of some money?

Just give me the 10 mil, I'd rather not play sisyphus, thanks.

Blue. I've made mistakes, but I'm proud of how my life has turned out.

Red pill. Perhaps I wouldn't gain $10 million with my current knowledge but I sure would get some underage wait what are we talking about exactly

Red pill says restart at 6, not go back in time to when you where 6. I assume you will be 6 in the current time and have no future knowledge to convert into cash.

Blue pill: I would die of boredom if I had to go back to school for more than a couple of days.
