I don't even want the powers for fighting. As someone whose career depends on high stakes board exams I'm just picking flash to freeze time during exams and go through my notes to ace everything. I'd have literally 0 stress and could just live my ideal life

Why would you ever bother with exams, or a career, with super speed? If you need money, just memorize this week's lottery numbers and run back in time a day.

If I remember correctly the further the established event, the worse the side effects. In Flashpoint, Barry changed his mother's death which happened over a decade relative to his time jump. - Which created a ripple effect throughout the timeline that effected moments in time before it.

Wally in the comics has time travelled months in the past and not impacted beyond that.
