My wording was awkward. If you start with a mortgage, and can hold on to the property or stuff through the crisis, you come out wealthy.

Yup.

You become 'more wealthy than your peers'. But in reality, it's crap for everyone. You become 'much less wealthy relative to everyone outside the country'.

Depends on what one values :)

You're country is probably going to rebound in ten years (mostly), but your personal assets aren't going away.
