You were like 25 during the dotcom crash and 35 during the housing crash. It’s possible these events were timed in a way that inflicted maximum psychological damage for you. I know at 25 I had just started my first “good” job and my first child was born at 35.

Quite possibly you’re being too pessimistic.

Or the 1950s-1990s were particularly abnormal period of innovation and financial prosperity, and we’re now simply reverting to the mean.

Only time will tell I suppose.
