When people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about changing the present by doing small things, but pretty much no one in the present thinks that they can change the future by doing something small.

That's interesting.

I've read that on imgur and twitter today. Shows how productive I've been. Oh well, time for coffee.

Oh but we do, all the time.
Doing nothing is also doing something.

The thing is, you know the present and people are naturally afraid of change. Changing something in the past implies that you go back to the future at some point and experience all effects of your doing at once. If you change something now, the change will take time to take effect.

Another possibility? Find a side hustle you can use to finance your travels. My husband and I are musicians (classic rock/country) who play at small- to mid-size venues throughout Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana.
