I thought we're just getting out of a 2020 "recession"? Asset prices may not continue growing at the rate they have been, but there seems to be more demand for things/services/everything/etc. than ever at the moment, and the boomers are retiring en masse. Either way, my strategy is (and will continue to be) to have a modest payed-off house in a low cost-of-living area. Worst case, I could afford my bills doing e.g. one of the food delivery services (which is how I payed the bills for part of the 2008 recession).
