I want to agree with you but having just lost  both jobs (husband and myself/ one of us in tech), mid-career, facing a tight market, having to buy health insurance, mortgage and two kids…. It’s scary as hell! We’ve lived below our means and saved over the years. Doesn’t matter. We’re scrambling to find any work that will pay benefits. We’re also in a field that is one of the first to get cut in lean times. Is heading toward being replaced by Ai and will probably be non-existent. What’s worse is mid-life it’s harder to find work, your health starts to become an issue and you’re sandwiched between your own kids and your aging parents. I’m not trying to be doom and gloom and we’re just one of a sh!t ton of people in our situation. You see it on our level. What happens when it hits low wage workers with no other options, no savings. From top down, of course, some will be better positioned than others to weather a storm. I’m not a doomsday prepper… but, I’ve always been observant of my surroundings and people and felt when tides shift (metaphorically) and something is and has been shifting. On a positive note, we try to eat well, exercise, get sleep and prioritize being grateful for what we do have. I have two boys in middle and high school so we are really looking at how we encourage them given the changing landscape and using their interests and aptitudes and what are careers that will be needed- love the post above about trades!
