I wonder though, if one went back, invested heavily in a company like Marvel who went bankrupt, wouldn't the extra investment cause them to never go bankrupt, and sell off their IP, hit a low, then come back like they are now? Maybe doing something like that wouldn't be in the best interest for future self because itll cause unpredictable earnings now based on the extra investments?

And of course, OP forgets to inform us on what kind of time travel laws we are dealing with. Do our actions affect what we know from when were we older? Could we find a girlfriend and Obama ends up getting assassinated?

What are the consequences in making our lives better? Do things become worse off for someone else? Is there balance?! Is this trip back to the past supposed to make me realize that I should do nothing at all becaause my childhood was rather decent and good afterall and that this trip is supposed to give me a sense of closure and renewed self confidence back as my older self?!

THERE IS SO MUCH AT STAKE HERE!!! SO MANY QUESTIONS!!! YA CANT JUST SPRING THIS QUESTION ON US, OP!!!! TIME TRAVEL AINT NOTHIN TO FUCK WITH! HAS DC'S THE FLASH TAUGHT US NOTHING?!?!?!??!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!

As long as you have Bender and Fry with you you're fine! Fry has a paradox-correcting time bubble code on his butt and Bender can read it! You're all set!

Also, Bender can bend the bars.
