Well, after my first crash and being out of a job for 6 months because of it, I've always been very prepared for that kind of situation so when Lehman Brothers went down I was just fine because I had plenty of savings (and was even asked back after a month because the division I was working with was bought by a Japanese Brokerage and remained operating) and similary when Leave won, not only had I "just in case" financially protected my savings from the hit on the British Pound if Leave won, but I could and did chose to leave Britain before the actual Leave date because I expected that country to increasingly suffer from the effects of leaving the EU.
So in a way, after the first one it wasn't too bad.
You know the saying "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"? This is literally what it means. You suffer hardships you can learn from, and you adapt. Lots of people seem to think it's about physical suffering, but in reality it's more about overcoming adversity in general.
Yeah, that's also the conclusion I came to.
