/biz/ - Business & Finance

I was in highschool during the 08 crash, obviously as a teen I didn't have any knowledge economics (my economics class was horseshit) but I don't really remember my mom complaining and struggling, it seemed the same before and after the so called crash, that being said we weren't rich or anything so it's not like my parents held stock. I'd say between lower and middle class, I've seen poverty and we weren't that bad, but we also weren't rich.
I keep hearing about how bad it is, how zoomies are gonna get fucked because they don't know what a recession is like and their shitcoins are gonna go down the drain. Was 08 really that bad?
