I think I'd quietly wait for things to occurr as they will, if the future cannot be altered.
And even if I had the ability to change a future event, I wouldn't dare, it will bring a host of other dilemmas.
We humans have a tendency to complicate things, even when they are being facilitated for us.

Keep it to myself. I think most people would be paralyzed to know what is in store for themselves and those in their lives. Knowledge of the future also contains the risk of trying to change the future. For every horrible thing that will happen, there are other good things.
For example, the Holocaust was a terrible thing. As a result though, the UN was formed, human rights took the world stage, and humanitarianism is now central for all nations.
If someone forewarned of the coming Holocaust, no one knows how many others might have died, had their rights denied, and how behind we would be in the human rights movement.
I don't believe that everything happens for a reason, however, I do believe that when you attempt to interrupt the future, you also stop all the good that will happen as well. I believe all of these events are interconnected.

I would see what I have achieved by 30. Then I would come back and depending on what I saw, worked hard to change the future or make the future remain the same.

If?
seeing the future allows one to avoid the hardships of life if that is a good thing to do but just because you can see where you are going does not mean you a willing to avoid some problems or take advantage of some opportunities.

I would keep my mouth shut about that kind of ability. I would try to never abuse that power, because it would disappear. When I say abuse, I am not sure that making a few dollars on the stock market constitute abuse. I would try not to take advantage of people. I would take steps to protect myself, my family and friends. I would see if there was some way I could be really useful to a number of people - perhaps by inventing something that would help them.

1. Get filthy stinkin' rich on the stock market.
2. See if I could be in a better position to change it for the better.

I would probably live in fear. Who wants that kind of pressure?
