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?

    Probably make a fixed deposit with the principal of 1 Million, and then after a year, (Assuming annual interest rate of around 7%) I would get 1.07 million, and give you 1 Million back, and still have USD 70,000, which is still a good amount to get for free. If we get quarterly interest rate, it would be slightly higher, so will try for that

    Take out a loan using it as collateral. Then it doesn’t matter if you take it back, I still have the loan. Then I guess buy a small company and gut it for resources. Rinse and repeat. Get rich. Lose my ethics. Start paying off women with offers of a horse. Lose my hair. Get my butt hair put on my head. Buy a shitty company and make it shittier. Treat my kids like garbage. Buy the president. Be the most hated man in the world. Fake my gaming stats. Die alone.

    Use 500k to get my foot in the door at one of the 0% tax havens (they often require >=500k investment to get a legal entity representation). Use the other 500k + my savings to rake in the expended 500k at 0% tax via investments. Pay you back on time and be left with a 0% tax haven foothold that’ll make me +20-30% on anything I’ll invest in the future, compared to what I’d gain on investments right now due to taxation in my country.

    I refuse to accept it. I don’t make deals with magical tricksters. Same reason I don’t fuck around with genies. It’s just not worth it man.

      OP hasn’t specified what he’d do if not repaid so that’s not genie-like according to my Aladdin research.

        I just try to avoid deals with magical beings of any kind. It never ends well. Thank you, but I’m more than capable of saving for retirement slowly with a regular retirement account. I don’t care what the consequences may or may not be. I don’t fuck around with magic.

    I’d invest in a CD at a credit union. No risk of loss and at least a 3-4% rate, or I’d park it in a high interest savings account. Some are even close to 5%. Then I’d ask for the same deal again next year and every year after lol

    Since you will change the past and reverse the changes due to me having no intention to give the money back, i will try to create as much chaos as possible with the 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?
