Hang on, let me memorize a few dates to invest/sell stocks and crypto coins, and some lotto numbers.

Wait! Is this our only shot, or do we have multiple attempts? Cause there are several decision points that could use some adjustments.

Just imagine: I could be a local rock star without a gig due to covid and no other marketable skills. The dream!

I too lived responsibly. Here’s the real irony, some of us are wired that way & going against our nature makes us bad at it. Lots of bad
criminals out there. Also lots of frustrated professionals in fields they hate, but joined for the money. You’re exactly where you should be
and life is long you’ll see how it gets better for good guys.

Would I revert to a 14-year old body now, or would my current consciousness be transferfed back in time to my 14-year old self?

For me, back in time, without a doubt. Not only several loved ones were still alive, but the late 20th century had its upsides.
That's what I'd hope for as well. If nothing else, it would give me the knowledge to make bitcoins, and when to sell them for max profit.
Your current consciousness would have to go back to alter your trajectory. Or else you’d just do the same.
Right, that's definitely a requirement, and kind of the whole point since as you say, no change would mean the same result later.
Although do you ever get the feeling most people seem to stumble through life taking what it gives them? I always tried to course a path.
People do the best with what they have available to them, I think. To some that means stumbling through life, for reasons unknown to us.
That is so true. Life definitely forces us down some tough roads.
