Even if by some miracle Germany manages to win, the rest of your chain makes no sense at all. We still get the Weimar Republic, we still get Nazis, we still get Hitler, we still get Lenin, we still get Stalin, and on top of it, we might get a fascist France.

Even if we again don't get that by some miracle, Britain is facing a situation they have been trying to avoid for centuries, a single dominant continental power in Europe. This means They're going to be looking for a far closer alliance with the US than historically, and will be applying economic pressure on the Germans. In essence an early 20th century cold war, without nukes to make both sides go "oh shit" at the thought of it turning hot. We might end up getting a different WWII, but we're still getting one.
Probably not Nazis. Hitler would be a threat to the Kaiser and be imprisoned for life.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.
