Do you remember a time when times were good?

Of course this is very dependent on a person’s situation. For me, it was probably mid to late 1990s. I was done with tough grad schools, got married and still didn’t have kids. Employment was great, easier to find higher paying jobs, employers were generous, I had no stressful kids, housing was cheap, lots of disposable time, the stock market was roaring.
But that was me and my personal situation but in general, the stock market was good and jobs were plentiful. Interest rates were low (not as low as today) but still pretty low compared to the previous 10–15 years. People didn’t seem as down as they do now.
Interestingly, I asked my 89 year old mom a couple of weeks ago, which was worse, the depression or this. I was shocked when she said this. To me it (and I’m not old enough to have experienced the depression), the depression seems to have been a LOT worse.
