Scenario: You can travel to any year since the 1950's

That would be an interesting challenge if I read the setup correctly. There are a lot of difficulties for a healthy 62-year-old to face dropping back to a past decade. For instance, should I plan for only 20 years of good health (or less in some earlier decades) to experience the past? Should I plan to be working or would I be retired as I am today?

Should've added that you can't actually change anything, prevent stuff you don't like, or play the stock market - merely be present to experience the culture scene. But I guess you found a good loophole.

That makes it even harder for an old like me. I was already around for most of the culture in the list of years (except the 50's), and I wouldn't particularly want to relive them again as an older me if it was just to take in the culture. At best I could maybe find a sequence of events in places around the world that would be worth experiencing firsthand rather than watching it on TV in the time that it happened.
