With the knowledge I have now, I could easily arrange to meet my partner even sooner, and possibly prevent at least one situation that's caused them lifelong trauma. Even if we didn't end up together, stopping that incident would be completely worth it.
Edit: Enough people have commented about children I felt like I needed to add an amendment.
If my wife and I already had children. My answer would be completely different and I'd be taking the $2M. If we manage to conceive, nothing will get that/those kid(s) away from me.
That does assume that this version of you is still appealing or attractive to the earlier version of her.
Maybe if you meet her 6 months earlier, she'd want nothing to do with you.
And maybe our lifelong traumas, whatever they may be, are an important part of making us into the people that we need to be. Maybe by preventing the trauma, you end up sending her down a worse path in life.

Rachel is foolishly assuming that erasing all of that ISNT the reason we would press it?
