Is there anything else I can use or no? I cannot find any Seastar or other brand 5606 hydraulic steering fluid and I really need some today ideally. Thoughts?

You learn that 90 days from now you will time travel to July 1st, 1960. You will land somewhere in your hometown where you won't be noticed. Your significant other and kids will go with you (if applicable) and be excited for the journey.

For the sake of the hypothetical, let's say you currently have immediate access to $100,000. You must live in the past until July 1st, 1970, at which point you'll choose to stay in the past, or head back to 2026 (you age normally from 1960-1970 but if you go back to 2026 you'll go back to the same age/physical state that you are right now). You only get this 1 chance to go back.

1.) How would you bring as much money possible back to 1960? (You can't show up with cash printed post-1960, if you bought gold or something in 2026 it will be worth much less in 1960, etc.)

2.) What else would you do in the 90 days to prepare? (Clothing, research, etc.)

3.) What would your plan be when you get there?

4.) Think you would go back to 2026 or live out your life in the past?

You're given a button that freezes time when pressed and unfreezes when pressed again. It only works twice: once to freeze time, once to unfreeze it. The button is stationary, so both presses must happen in the same location.

While time is frozen:

-Infinite electricity and internet access

-Grocery stores always fully stocked with fresh food

-You dont age

-You cannot die, be injured, or get sick

-Other people cannot be injured, moved, or interacted with

-Inanimate objects function normally when you interact with them (gas doesn't go bad, electronics remain perfect forever, etc.)

Your Goals:

Collect as much wealth and knowledge that you want to, while being as undetectable as possible.

Avoid obvious consequences when time unfreezes (banks, businesses, casinos, people all immediately reporting a ton of missing items all at once). 

Questions:

-How would you source it (cash, gold, jewelry, collectibles, etc.) without creating issues when time unfreezes?

-What would you learn, and how would you learn it? (languages, trades, skills, etc.)

-How long would you keep time frozen?

-Once time unfreezes, how would you handle your new wealth without people wondering how you got rich overnight?

-What time of day would you freeze time (consider weather, light, traffic, etc.)

-What other plans or goals would you have while time is frozen?
