I took a beating in 1999 - 2000 financially. I recovered but not fully when 2008 hit me. To compound that I was going thru a ugly divorce that didn't get settled until 2010. Adding other things that life can throw at you, I can say 2000- -2010 was the darkest days financially for me.
I dug out of a huge hole and got back on track. I am nowhere near what I thought I would have financially and I'm working longer than I wanted too ( I'm 70 yrs old). I'm fortunate - I'm still in a better spot than most. 2008 everyone took a hit, 2020 is different: jobs, business segments are taking a beating, some are doing well. My company is doing well.
I'm not sure 2008 changed the way I live as much as 2020 has. It will carry into 2021.
