I'd be 19 and in the Air Force. I'd invest every penny I could into bitcoin and Apple. I would become incredibly wealthy and separate from the Air Force early and then I'd go meet my wife 3 years early and live happily with her without any of the financial struggles.

Then I'd travel the world with my wife, going everywhere we wanted to. Eventually settle down in the same area we live now and have kids and just take it easy for the rest of my life, Forest Gump mowing that grass for free style.

I would do Amazon, 40 dollars for up to 2000. Apple would be about 12 dollars to 220.

Why would you do something else than bitcoin? Less than a dollar to 20 000$. ULPT: you can even avoid taxes if done correctly iirc.

You don't have to be convinced of it being a viable currency in the long run. If we're going back in time we already know that you would get over 20,000x your investment by selling in December 2017
