Iβm not sure if I would want to. Too many nice things have happened to me by chance, and Iβm not sure if I could make them happen again.
Of course itβs tempting to start over and do a second play-through. Maybe Iβll save up and reconsider on my deathbed.
edit:
Also, move to Venezuela by then. A single dollar should get you enough bolivars to travel as far back as you want :)
For $13,000 I can be 16 again? SOLD!!!
I'd go back a bit over a decade and make a lot better decisions.
Nah thanks, I'm good.
Does time reverse for me too? Do I remember? Do I get younger?

Less than a month ago when I hadn't yet accidentally deleted several days of vacation photos. Other than that, my life tended to get better over time, no way am I travelling back to a time when it was worse.
Do I get to choose which day gets reversed? Can I make October 14, 1066 go backwards and see what happens?
10 years back. Back to high-school when I would hang out with my friends at the bus stop and at lunch and after school.
Ten years spent watching what already happened, and then you're a 35 yr old freshman.
I wouldn't go further back than the birth of my daughter, because there's no way I'd take the chance to not have her in my life, no matter what I might wish to change from before that. That said, I'd like to change a few things since, so I'd probably do that.
Pretty difficult to imagine doing this honestly. Do I retain the memories of what I'm reversing? Or is it just a rewind? Because if I don't retain the memories then it's a bit pointless, but if I do I think I'd have a hard time reliving things. For instance I would never go back far enough to erase my children, but my youngest was born 2 weeks before COVID. Regardless of any get rich quick scheme I could think of, I am really not certain I'd want to knowingly live through that again.
