Of the major economies the US is one of the healthiest despite our slow growth.I'm not sure how far away a recession is and where it will start, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't start somewhere else besides the US this time around. 

@Tanner MarseyNot a big fan of the supposed Ancient Greek concept of "everything in moderation" or <<Παν μέτρον άριστον>>, which doesn't actually MEAN "everything in moderation."

As I continue to progress in my financial journey and contemplate my reasons for pursuing early financial independence more carefully, finding my why, it's obvious that the collapse of the Greek economy and the financial distress of my friends and family in Greece has a great deal to do with my mindset.Imagine living in a country where you go to the bank one day and they tell you that you can't draw any of your own money out of your own bank account.

I think unemployment will get back to its pre-coronavirus numbers though it will take time (at least 6-9 months).The economy is good if you look at the classic definition: An economy (from Greek οίκος – "household" and νέμoμαι – "manage") is an area of the production, distribution and trade, as well as consumption of goods and services by different agents.However when I look at US debt - which pretty much every politician with few exceptions have kicked the can down the road - I see a massive problem with inflation.

The only time I encountered that was in the Greek Islands in 1980.  

I gave him all the numbers and just wrote a check... my numbers in this example were my understanding, not actually whats on my returns as it was greek to me :) Thats why I 'm trying to understand. 

I used to go to school with the son of a famous Greek shipping tycoon, crazy rich, net worth up in the hundreds of millions.

I would ABSOLUTELY suggest finding a reputable Greek company to partner with.
