"If, in all things, God is in control, why did so many people have to lose their savings?"

I think you're not allowed to ask such questions. It's all part of God's plan, or so the story goes whenever such questions come up.

Seems a flawed plan to me, but what do I know?

It seems that the plan is only in effect, when it's a good thing...when bad things happen, it's a divine mystery??!!

So if there is a plan, how does our free-will fit in?

Quite clearly you know very little. Yet for some reason you still have an unexplainably high opinion of yourself....
