Hey, Jo! Welcome! Didn't expect to see you here. (Welcome to Fred, too, but I didn't expect you less than I didn't expect Jo.)
I'm not sure I value my present self all that much. Had I a time machine, I'd gladly go back and try to pressure my past self into making all sorts of different decisions that I'd hope would improve my present lot (leaving aside the question of whether that time-travelling self would ever get to experience the modified present), and I don't just mean the stock tips. Not that past-me would take most of the advice, the stubborn, lazy little snot.
