You can have 5000 of anything that starts with Y. What do you choose?

Not ideal but better than nothing

At least you know it isn't unending.

But do you get to keep your "future" memory? Does reliving "yesterday" rewrite everything so the "present" day never really happened? If it does... at the end of those 5000 days (which you have have no idea you relived 5000 times), you would probably just end up back at present day and make the same wish again, repeating the cycle indefinitely.

Yeah step 1 is figure out a market strategy. Likely shorting an unexpected stock.

Step 2 befriend someone with a LOT of money. Perfect a strategy to convince them to give you a few mill with the understanding that they get a percentage of your profit.

Step 3 live out your 5000 days, lose track of them, forget to carry out your money strategy, get really sad.
