Experienced Investors Who Have Hit the "Pause" Button Recently

I was talking to an investor friend today and he mentioned that he really slowed down the last two to three years. 

 know that a lot of folks who post heavily in current times are likely active and building aggressively, but I wanted to hear from folks who maybe have paused a little bit and pulled back. 

Anyone here stopped in the last 24 months and really hit the brakes for market driven reasons? 

What have you done? Why did you pause? What would be the catalyst to getting back in the game aggressively?

@Scott Trench with a growing family and a looming recession, we're holding off and saving in case tenants start losing their jobs. Also with taxes and insurance increasing, we want to start paying it safe for now.
