If you didn’t experience the 2000 or 2008 crises (I hope nobody sees it), I urge you to take precautions, starting by reducing unnecessary spending. Trim it down. If possible, build 6–12 months of savings to prepare for potential job loss. Avoid buying items on credit. Economic crashes are like harsh mistresses, they do not forgive easily.
