I am 41 and have been through all the crisis from the dotcom burst as i enter the workforce very young at 16. Fret not, as long as we are alive, we would see it through.
The financial literacy content in these comics is great. But I also love the artist uses different visual perspectives (or…camera angles? not sure what the technical term is) to convey certain emotions.
Wow, this post really hits home. The way it captures your dad’s struggles in 1997 and how they reflect the greater economic challenges of that time is so relatable. It’s crazy to think about how those experiences shaped not just his resilience but also the values he passed down. The memories of dealing with uncertainty while trying to make ends meet just resonate so much with what many of us are feeling today, especially as part of the sandwich generation juggling our own challenges and caring for parents.
I can’t help but wonder, looking at how far we’ve come and the cyclical nature of economic hardships, do you think the younger generation today has a clearer path to overcome such challenges, or are we just going through the same struggles in a different guise? It’s like, are we better prepared now, or just caught in a different storm? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thank you 🙂
