I have OP magic. I can reverse time and take my money back from your future. There is no escape from OP Magic Lemmings.

You have 1 year. What do you do with this small sum of money?

Am I reading this right or is everyone else in the thread reading it wrong? It seems to me what you're saying is that you go back in time and take it away after the fact like we never had it. So all these answers about buying stocks or bonds or everything are pointless. Objectively the answer is to have as much fucking fun as you can cuz it's going to be taken away with timey wimey stuff before it ever happened. Am I right?

It could be. Or you could use it to walk away with something more if you're clever about it. If you party it up, I'll let you keep the Epicurean memories

But if you're going back and taking the money when I got it how do I keep anything?

Magical memories like realistic dreams.
