Am I like. Here? I know who lived here and they would be concerned about random woman appearing in their master bedroom. Am I where I was in the 90s, so confusing past me but looking a lot like my parents so I might convince them what happened?
Regardless my first thing to do is freak the fuck out.
Seriously I was in high school. I didnt have a bank account or any investments so everyone's dream of investment is out the window.
Are you commenting on every single response to be a buzzkill?
Hey look it’s a hypocrite who adds nothing with their comments here!
Oooh that makes it worse for me. I thought I was my current age but back in 1990. If I'm transported back to my body back then, I'm just straight fucked for awhile. I'm like...a toddler...
However dad absolutely would take my toddler investing advice so. There's that.
I am thinking current me is in 1990. Current me is 50. Any background check on my info will say Im 15. Im not going to be able to get a bank account or an investment account.
Oh, sure. That's also an issue. But where I am had restaurants and you can get into dishwasher there easy. It's not the best but at least it's something. I'm also white in a white area, it'll be...okayish.
You'll get paid cash off the books which will help you until you need to get a home, a car, or bank account at which point you are back to square one.
Being white would make much of this harder unless you are a white immigrant that has a large immigrant population around you eg an Irish person in South Boston.
Ahhh, but all I have to do is wait a few years and meet the guy who would become my husband and be nice to him, and I'm in or something. I don't have to wait long until he's looking for a roommate in the 90s. Convince past me to fucking finish college and steal other me's future husband.
This sounds dystopian, but it all sounds bad in general, hence the "I freak the fuck out as my first action"
Bank account is an issue. But yeah, there's a large immigrant community here from a lot of places.
