The prevailing belief that market highs and strong markets benefit everyone is a misconception perpetuated by older generations. This myth leads them to encourage excessive debt and artificially low interest rates to sustain inflated market values, which primarily advantages those already invested in assets. In reality, for younger investors, market downturns present crucial opportunities to acquire stocks and real estate at more affordable prices. Historical examples show that significant wealth is often accumulated during market crashes, as seen in 2008 when investors could buy major stocks at rock-bottom prices. The ongoing narrative fueled by older generations, which advocates for market stability through government intervention, undermines the natural economic cycle that includes necessary corrections. This perspective suggests that a better understanding and acceptance of market fluctuations would empower the younger generation to seize investment opportunities and fully engage with the benefits of capitalism.
