It's being poor, that scars you.

As with everything, during childhood impressions are stronger and effect your life more, but being really poor in your 20s has quite a similar effect.

That's true, I grew up during the 2008 recession so I constantly have that at the back of my mind. Massive layoffs, housing crash, breaking news everyday, everyone in just constant worry for an extended period of time. Now in 2022 I find myself reliving these memories a little, and I have observed my behavior to be extremely risk-averse these days.

For me, the current projection of the economy are justifying all of me, most likely unhealthy, behavior.
