Besides the obvious answer of making money, or rather, how would you do it as an 8 year old? What else would you do?

Probably aquire as much money as I could because money = power. I'd hide it from my parents because i know they would take it(they needed it more than 8yr me)

With all the knowledge i have now i cant go back to being a kid. I'd have to try my best to make use of the unique position and influence the future as best I can.

I'd probably spend my money trying to run political advertising to prevent the conservatives from getting into power. Using knowledge of the new mediums and how grass roots the internet is.
