I have no doubt that things will be challenging. Zero-interest rates for so long finally have a cost, a pandemic that disrupted industries and social structures alike, an uncalled-for war in Ukraine, energy prices hitting crazy levels. I could go on.
The truth is, none of us knows how this is going to play out. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. We live in the world of narratives. The same story gets played out through different lenses. We all live a version of the Rashomon effect - one storyline played out through multiple viewpoints. It really does depend on which ones you expose yourself to and which ones to run with.
But this is not the tine to sit back, eat the popcorn and watch things play out. You really don't want to leave things to chance. You don't want to be ill-prepared for what's playing out in front of you. 2008 proved that. You need to shape the narrative. Your narrative. That means not relying on your job, the government, or whoever.
This isn't some conspiratorial prepping vibe. It's far more pragmatic than that. The world owes you nothing so you have to control what you can. Stay nimble. Get skilled. Take the initiative.
