Dotcom bubble. 2008 crash. Covid. Now this.

We've all been through these. Buckle down. Ignore the outliers. It's a chance to rethink and do what matters to you.

Also, ALWAYS have a Plan B, C, and D.

I left the US for less raw salary but better job security and living somewhere I like more (in most respects; nowhere is perfect). Still make way above average for Japan and have a great standard of living
