Gig economy is horrible

I had a steady job 25 yrs ago that I still have. Didn’t pay much then but IT WAS STEADY. And had benefits and a pension. The bank lent me money because I had a steady job. So I built a small empire in real estate thanks to the bank and A STEADY PAYCHEQUE 
I really feel sorry for folks who are going job to job. I couldn’t do that. And I’ll be retired in 7 years.
