Unfortunately there IS a point to a serious financial downturn
The point is to teach people one more time that
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH
I know I will also be hurt by a financial crash but I’d rather deal with that pain so my children can enter their adulthood in a healthy economy (instead of inheriting the current economy with its $70 trillion in unfunded liabilities to the baby boomers and its need to doctor economic statistics with things like the birth-death model that the BLS uses to lie about unemployment levels)

But buying overpriced properties with the sense of entitlement that one “deserves” the profit is plain stupid. It’s like buying a house in Temecula for $800k expecting it to increase to $1 million in a couple of years. That’s asking for trouble. Plenty of people have been living in that lala land. It’s time for a correction so that the real hard-work is rewarded.
Nothing wrong with refurbishing a house and reselling it for profit. But you have to add value and create a product that buyers want. The real work is not in the upgrade (anyone can do that) but finding the right house at the right price at the right time.
