You may “have nothing” now, but I imagine you at least have an opportunity to obtain a slave-wage level job, and food on the table.
In a global financial collapse, you wouldn’t have those things, and there would be violence and unrest.
It’s not as though people with houses lose them and everyone gets respawned with no gear. It’s more like wealthy people don’t notice, people with mortgages struggle to make payments, and people who currently “have nothing” pay more for everything.
This is absolutely one of those “be careful what you wish for” type situations.
I think it’s you who doesn’t get it. In a financial collapse, it’s not the plumbers, electricians, or machinists who will be out of work. It will be the investment bankers, the lawyers, and the middle managers.
Sorry, you just don’t seem to get it.

They need us far more than we need them.
Thats… just not how economies work.
Yes, but aren’t we talking about a scenario where the economy doesn’t work?
No.
I’m pretty sure that’s the definition of a global financial collapse
