What? I don't remember this being anything at all but some people talking on TV.
9/11
Not to downplay a big terrorist attack, but I just watched this on TV.
Plague
Covid? While maybe the worst period of the last decade of my life, it wasn't from the plague it was from the government
2 Economic Recessions
The work harder thing comes into play here. I had good jobs because of it. I even got fired by a literal crackhead boss during one of these recessions. Becuase I did good work one of the companies we worked with called me within a week and hired me for better money. Then the money side; I've never been paycheck-to-paycheck ever since I lived alone because I chose to not live outside my means and chose to put money aside. Even when I was younger it wasn't much but it was proportional to what I was earning.
WW3
Won't make it before I'm 40. Certainly won't be over Ukraine. No one that matters outside Ukraine really gives a shit about that war, unless it's to milk it for money.
Working harder won't matter the vast majority of the time and I'm already working my hands bloody for minimum wage.

Just living can be outside of ones means for a lot of people, most have to rely on the generosity of family.
True that is the hard part. I think I got my break way back from helping a coworker help their parents small business with their computers for like $50 under the table. Turns out they knew someone and I got an in running network cabling. Snowballed from there and within a few years I'm doing on site tech support for a company that was paying my junior college too with enough customers which ended up being more connections when that job went bust.
I guess my point would be the connections can come where you don't expect. I won't disagree that's still a brutal part of it.

What are you doing to improve yourself so you can make more than minimum wage?
Connections seem to be the most important thing of all and I have none.
