I didn't feel anything of it in Europe.
I know plenty people who are currently homeless in Europe originally lost their job following the 2008 crash.
It destroyed the budget of scientific research in Spain. I was a Spanish researcher then. There was a point when universities couldn't pay us the grant that the government had already assigned to us. Some of my peers missed rent. I heard stories of Spanish PhD. students stranded all over the world. I quit research (my dream job at the time) because of this crisis and never came back to it.
Happy you felt nothing in your happy little bubble.
