It's either sharing the winning lottery numbers, or asking for them. I need to know how the time stream works first.

unless you have some specific trauma in your past that's worth avoiding it's silly to be rich later in life than earlier in life. I can't see any scenario where talking to your future self is better than your past self. Even giving world shattering options you'll weather it better as a rich capitalist than a prole.
