Would You Rather....

Ask a Question

Would you rather: Go back in time to fix your biggest money mistake, or look into your future to find out where you end up? I'd want to look into the future I think, see where I am in say, 30 years.

Great Question!, l don't want to do anything about my past money mistakes but it's the future that l worry about daily so l would love to look into my future and see where l will be on the financial scale. (Smile on my face thinking about this question) 😊

I feel the mistakes I made in the past, learned me not to make the same mistakes, I wouldn't change anything, and I'd prefer the future to be unknown, if what is happening today, the future looks bleak

The dissolute and reckless expenditure of my heady youth would fast be put to rights.Paying a hefty price now.

Wish I could fix some financial mistakes but I didn’t have the knowledge/awareness then of how to deal with them. I would have done things differently if I knew then. Now I’m having to catch up with a lot of things to deal with.

Depends really, if I change mistakes I probably wouldn't have some of the good things that happened after, if I see the future can I still change it if I don't like it,?

I wouldn't want to know what's ahead, I'd much prefer to go back and change the financial situation

I would definitely go back and not spend so much on things that I never needed. Sounds bad but mainly on children’s plastic toys.

Neither as It wouldnt of made the person I am today. Its like History I suppose. History should always be remembered but not repeated. A learning curve I guess. The Future? I dont really want to look that far. I live for today only.

Go into the future and find out the date that I die, so I can plan my life backwards

Go back and make better financial decisions. Buy that big house in 1980s although interest rates were 15% on mortgages we could have stretched ourselves.

The thing is if you don't learn from mistakes how can you know how strong you are so it be no to going back to past, as for future would it alter things?

Neither to be honest, at first I thought go back, but those mistakes I made taught me lessons, and I like the unknown of the future

It's a difficult question as never had enough money to make a mistake with it and in 30 years time I'm sure I won't be alive.
