This seems like a completely pointless comment. If moneymaking efforts won’t work because of the paradox of changing the future, then nothing else will work, since anything will change the future. In that situation, if given the opportunity, why not try?
Also, this can be resolved if your relative future self is smart enough to remember what they heard in the past, and say the same thing they heard when the time comes (unless it doesn’t work, in which case arguably they’d say something else, which leads to an unstable configuration where the theoretical future will change until you reach a stable configuration where future you does repeat what you heard)
Well, it’s not me who will stop existing, that’s 5 seconds from now me’s problem. But like, she already doesn’t exist. So really all I’m doing is changing which 5 seconds from now me has to deal with the burden of existence.

ACKTHUALLY
My other post gave an answer which made sense.
I would want to know what moment in the future causes me the most stress, which I don’t need to worry about at all.
No paradoxes, just convenience.
Also, I wasn’t saying money making wouldn’t work, only that your future you would cease to exist because you would have changed things.
If you’re okay with suicide to offer your past self financial advice, then the same should be true of your future self.
Personally, erasing that timeline seems unacceptable.
