What do you think, yes or no? I personally was expecting a some kind of recession in 2020 and kept putting of buying a home for the last two years, but now it feels like we are going to have a fully blown crash vs a mild recession.
The two main things what scary me the most, are the amount of debt everyone has and the economic uncertainty over the Covid 19. I think feds gonna keep printing money until the election is over and then, next spring, we gonna see one heck of a roller coaster
Economic crash worse than in 2008?

This isn't a recession, it is almost like a depression. It should not have happened and it will take a long time to get back to where we left it, and all for the flu.

I don’t know, nobody does. I wouldn’t be surprised if this forced Recession has the opposite effect longrun. Same way Hurricane Katrina devistated the economy on the Gulf Coast, yet spared a recession in the area. Nowhere to go but up, when you’re on the bottom. Much worse, than the usual cyclical recession we were headed for, but we might just have good slow steady growth afterwards. Still a lot more people will be affected, this time. With long lasting economic damage to their lives. Debt levels are high, mostly credit cards. They’ll just write off losses, still making a killing on what’s left.

Yes worse the 08 by far in my opinion. The full effects which have not yet been felt. However it did not have to go this way. Politics, media, etc, blew it to smithereens.

Its gonna be bad. This is the one where the middle class takes the lifeline that turns out to be a leash.
