People act like 2021 is going to be a magically fantastic year that will make everything better and perfect.
What people seem to fail to realize is that we've got many months of masks and lock downs left to go. The pandemic wont stop just because a number changed. Even when it's "over", we'll see a slow gradual recovery and return to normal, which itself could take months. Even then, a lot of damage will have been done. You have a massive amount of people who are unemployed right now, and many of them will find that they wont have a job to go back to as a lot of places have gone out of business for good. The governments of the world will likely not be as generous with free money after the pandemic has passed. Things will be a lot worse for a lot of people compared to before this started. I'm guessing a ton of people will be evited from their homes if they rent, and lose those homes if they do mortgages. There are laws in place keeping building owners from kicking out renters who don't pay, but that's only during the pandemic. I get the strong impression a lot of people with a mortgage never read the fine print with not having to pay their bills. I've over heard people bragging about as much, how they've been staying in their home rent free for months while laughing it off. But those mortgage companies are simply pushing back the payments, I actually read the documents they sent me, I looked past the "You don't have to pay us" bs, and found that any missed payments would simply add up. A -lot- of people will be hit with 9+ months of bills all at once when this pandemic is over. It's gonna be 2008's housing crash all over again, if not worse. I'm sure banks will 'try' to make deals with people, that isn't going to help people who were just barely getting by before this started. Used to be a single income could support a home, then it became two and people just accepted both parents having to work, might turn into three after this is over, which people would again just accept because there's almost certainly going to be a kid or two living at home who can pitch in. The world wont end, it's just going to get even harder for the average person.
