Yeah. I went to school with rich kids who were suddenly worried about whether daddy could pay for college after that 1987 crash.
dad bailed on us for good that winter. left mom and us kids with nothing. he spent several years globe-trotting with his flavor-of-the-month mistress.
I’m sorry that you had to experience that. I hope you all eventally survived and thrived.
Yeah, 1988-1996 was pretty bad. It was my computer hobby that saved my life. No idea where I'd be today had I not turned my side hustle into a career.
I guess I was “lucky” in that I was too poor to be directly impacted my the market back then. But I was young, energetic and at my peak looks-wise, so I can’t shit on that era too much.
