I lived through 2009. No thanks.
I think my life peaked around 2009, maybe 2011.
Ok, but would you put 2009 above or below your predictions did 2026? Frankly I'd take another 2020 at this rate, at least then I could afford food.
Ahh, I see. I could not afford food in 2009. So they are probably the same.
Hard agree. There was still hope back then.
On one hand, in 2009 I had hope my life would eventually improve and I would have a chance to be happy someday.
On the other hand, I was still a teenager and stuck living with my parents. I would rather be hopeless and paying half my income in rent than live with my abusive mother again.
2009 was shit. 2011 waa good
