Saving as much money as possible, the future is too uncertain right for me to want to spend like I used too. Just too much disruption both from a business and now career perspective.

I believe many people are now doing this and it will have detrimental effects economically.

It feels like capitalism is kind of reaching some kind of maximum. Kind of starting to eat itself? Of course this is just an opinion, not claiming it's a fact. Just an observation based on my own sentiment, I can't be alone.

This is what I think as well, I think we will see just another failure mode of capitalism, accumulation of wealth in hands of the few to the detriment of the rest, bubbles popping etc. . I think that the system was kind of designed for infinite growth, which worked well for sometime, but we might be reaching some ceilings here and there.

Kinda sad that I've just got my first full-time gig, I mean I'm very happy and grateful, but I feel like I should have been born 5 years earlier to really get enough funds and traction to feel safe.
