Yes! But if you were still in school in 2008 and putting your money into food and paying off student loans, the market performance isn't necessarily the thing that impacts your future wealth.
- WalterBright 6y agoThe 2008 recession didn't last that long.

But hey - what do I know? I'm just a lazy millennial who's now living through his second major recession, with the first one landing directly on when I was entering the work world FT. Nobody here is denying your claim about the market performance.
