You wake up and it's 1990. Youre still your age and you have a bag with 5k in cash with you. What do you do? (lazysoci.al)

Spend it on completely mundane and practical things like securing a place to live, and buying a suit to interview for a job - because 5k simply isn't enough to make any immediate life-changing money on, even if you're from the future.

And I really need a place to sleep.

5k might be quick money if I was a sports buff and could remember match results, or knew the exact dates of significant events, or remembered a bunch of old lottery numbers, but that's not the case so it's off the table.

So yeah. Get a place. Get a suit (it's 1990, you need a suit), Get a job, earn some money, and spend half my wage on shares in Microsoft and other companies I remember as doing well.
