    Default For all you 80s/90s kids, do you feel when you look back at years like 2008...

    It doesn't feel too long ago and then you realize it was 7 years ago?

    Just to think that 2005 was 10 years ago is pretty absurd to me.

    Time really does fly.

    It really hits you when you have kids. My daughter started middle school this year and it seems like just yesterday she was a baby in the crib.

    Think about the NBA in 2008. Steph Curry was a little-known skinny kid at a small college.

    Yeah, funny that when you're a kid 2 weeks seemed like an eternity. Once you hit like 22, a month goes by in a flash.

    Half of ISH wasn't even born yet. At least mentally.

    Ages 4-14 seemed to last a long time. Then high school drags on as well, but college/uni is over so fast. Then it gets worse from there... I'm already 4 years removed from university.

    Why 2008, just a random year?

    Things were really going to hell in 2008 for everybody. 2007 was the last year of denial, but people were already losing jobs and gas prices skyrocketed.

    Everyone seemed happiest in the late 90's.

    Da Fuq? The country was on the verge of financial collapse before the Kenyan socialist swooped in to save us.

    All the time. Heck, early 2000s don't sound long ago until I remember what I was doing at those times, and what was going on in the NBA.

    Same feeling. 2008 my son was in preschool. Now he's a 10 year old in grade 5 who going away to a soccer prep camp for the summer.
    Relative to my own life, if I didn't have a kid it would not seen so long as nothing has changed in my personal life

    I would say mid 90s, late 90s the stock market got hit pretty bad. but the mid 90s was the huge .com and tech boom. If you were a fresh graduate with a comp sci degree back then, you were in high demand.

    And I totally agree about the 2007 being the last year of denial. Even as a teenager, I understood the 2008 crash really took a big hit on the economy. I remember being told that in 1999-2000 the economy took a quite big hit because of the .com bubble.

    I personally loved growing up in the late 90s/early 2000s. One fond memory I have in the early 2000s internet wise is trolling Smarterchild on AOL. Always had fun with that ahah.
