With only enough power to make one return trip. What you use it for? For the greater good or to make money. Lots of money.

Doing something for the greater good can lead to much, much worse things happening. I'm one of those people that wonders if you went back in time to kill Hitler, if you wouldn't end up with somebody even more nasty. He wasn't alone in his belief system at all.
I'd go back in time and do something like play the correct lottery numbers the week before a super jackpot was won. Or invest in bitcoin and sell it all a couple months ago. Or not order that meat lovers pizza last night because the crust was still doughy. That was the worst night in the history of history.

But if you used it to make millions, would you not be thinking "I could have seen the pyramids being built or seen who was really on the grassy knoll"

Honestly, money or success wasn't even my instinctive thought, rather life trajectory. I'd go back and focus on something different in college rather than what I did.

Invest in Apple and watch the cash flow in. Similar, I say Google. Either that or just buy a few copies of Action Comics #1 and rake in money that way |

Yeah, I'm going into the future and bringing back the cure for baldness and retiring on my private tropical island paradise a very, very rich man. The best of both worlds; top man! I'd go back and invent the Internet but with a filter that blocks out anything hate crime related. Greater good/lots of money/winning at life. |

Personal enrichment, because me suddenly being rich is unlikely to cause too much damage to the timeline, since I would spend all day in my Millennium Falcon-shaped house.

I time travel to the point in human history where someone knows how to re-energize the time machine so it can run forever.  And honestly - I won't try to change anything or make money; I'd just go back, sit just slightly out of sync with reality so I can be there & not be seen, and watch stuff happen. I'll even shave my head and wear a blue & white toga and be a proper Watcher. |

things i would do with access to time travel:
1.) kill all the dinosaurs.
2.) use modern machinery to build Stonehenge and leave a small plaque underneath it explaining how it was done.
3.) be an extra in every big Hollywood film.
4.) visit my own grave to dance on it causing the multiple times it's felt like someone was doing that.
5.) watch every cup victory for Blackburn rovers in history.
6.) be responsible for every weird place name in the uk.
7.) screw up the timeline & history.
8.) fix said screw up of timeline & history.
9.) visit humanity once it has spread out amongst the stars.
10.) i'll fill this in once I've done it.

The odds on Leicester City winning the Premier League, the EU referendum ending in a Brexit win, and Donald Trump being elected to the U.S, presidency were 1,000,000 to 1.
So yeah, I'm going back to August 2015 and placing as few bets.

Go back and ensure my family invents television , the internet and motor vehicles and win every major lottery up to present day.
Then return to present day and rule the earth with a JDF Green Ranger evil laugh track constantly playing all over the planet.

I'd win that big powerball jackpot and use the money to build a bunch of low income housing.
