How did YOU survive the 2008 economic collapse?

Fraud.

Same, hid in college for a bit longer

Wife was laid off, but I had started a Gov’t job that year so we were comfy.

I was in 1st year of highschool playing line rider

the 2008 recession is still ongoing, in fact it never really got started, but the (((central planners))) have disguised it by printing near-infinite quantities of fiat currency backed with totalitarian media propaganda. the thing which everyone thinks is money is what they are going to sacrifice, in order to preserve their power. in order to survive what is coming you will need to liquidate bubble assets (stocks, bonds, property), withdraw everything from bank accounts, and move 100% into bitcoin and gold. shills will attack this post.

well I'd just left high school, my family's house got foreclosed while I was working retail because I couldn't afford to go to university. Ended up using my funds to move country back to my own country. Went back to go on benefits. Joined the armed forces. My family lost their home and were briefly homeless. Then I used what money I had managed to save up to get them tickets home to do the same benefits thing. Waited until I qualified for student finance, left the forces and studied to be a software engineer. Got a job with a bank as an intern. Ended up making lots of money at it. Started my own business. Quit my job when my business started doing better than the bank job. Moved country again. Got citizenship this time. Could afford to sponsor my family and bring them back over.

Did.

Took me 10 years. This time I have savings and shit and my business is recession proof. I also have kids now.

My advice? If you get hit hard. Come up with a plan, and fucking stick to it hard, come hell or high water, you'll make it out the other side.

I didn't. Please help, my soul is stuck in the interwebs.

I was in boot camp, right around the swine flu shit too, some dumbass in my bay made a big deal about coughing and fell off the top bunk onto the floor. They went to sick bay and never returned. We all thought we were gonna die.
That was also when all the car companies were going bankrupt and a bunch of celebrities were dying. It was like emerging from a fucking coma into a brand new world once I finally had access to TV again.

My question to fellow oldfags, how do we get gen Z kids to stop bumping obvious bait threads?

The shills have completely won at this point.
