Planning was my forte, and from the moment I first learned about the opportunity to return to the past, I started weaving a web of events and situations that would present me with the best possible outcome.
Time and time again over the years, I've had to make adjustments here and there; some of my money-making schemes had failed due to other Returners getting to them before me, but overall, I could wholeheartedly say I was now in a situation where I could do just about anything I wanted.
And we were only in 2008.
From setting up a solid cash flow before the descent, which I would easily convert to Coins when the time came, to strengthening not only myself but my family as well, I laid the groundwork for our survival no matter what occurred on Earth.
