You could have done everything right and still be screwed. Put money away, bought a house well within your means, retirement savings.... there is no way to be early in your career and be prepared for this.
What makes it even better is the people who think we can get jobs lined up for October. No one will hire you when you don't even know if you'll be available. No one will hire you when they know you will be recalled within two years. No regional is hiring. There are very few jobs available that pay better than a CFI. We will be hosed, and anyone convincing themselves otherwise is just trying to make themselves feel better about what they're about to do.
