While not representative, I would imagine that for most millennial HN users, 2020 was their best year in terms of financial gain: roaring stock market, wfh and CoL savings, insane crypto boom, record level bonuses, etc.

I do understand that it isn't a representative picture, but among my friends, none of us have ever done so well financially in our entire lives.

It's been a K shaped recovery. Certainly a lot of people have benefitted and did even better than past years despite the pandemic, but for a lot of others they haven't.

Been great for me as well but outside of people in tech, I don't know too many in crypto as they didn't have the funds to risk in the first place. Nor do they have much stock exposure outside of their 401k.
