I did think about this the other day from an economic POV. I entered the work force when Reagan was elected - 18% Interest rates and a recession I lived in TX in '85 when the biggest economic collapse since '29 occurred (Savings / Loan failures) 1987 stock market crash ~ 25% 2000 We had the Y2K bs 2001 9-11 2002 dot.com bust 2008/2009 Housing market collapse 2015 the stock market got dicey for a while, still don't know why. 2020 Wuhan flu Only thing I will add 'politically' during this whole time are middle east wars and eastern Europe / Russia bs. It is like George Orwell wrote, we are constantly at war.
If you can't look back and think" Damn how did I get in this mess?" ever once in a while, maybe you need to pull off the training wheels, disconnect the governor, and crack the throttle wide open just to blow the carbon out of your pipes, and your life. "A good life isn't measured by how many breaths you take, but how many time it steals your breath away"
