This is a really odd take.
Sure but you just lost half your 401k, including half of what was invested while the market was overpriced.
Yes, but lenders also tighten their criteria during these times because even a stable job is dramatically less stable during a recession or depression. It's very difficult to borrow money in an economic downturn.
Sure but if the market didn't collapse you would still have those years of experience. During a collapse fewer people will have consistent employment.
Not sure where you were going with this part.
The universal economic truth is, in times of economic uncertainty the working class does the heavy lifting.
