I honestly don’t remember much (the ADHD mixed with PTSD really fucks with the memory). But I was 13 and that was the year my parents separated. So I can’t remember the economic issues at the time, I just remember having to live in a unit instead of a house when they separated. Dad was still in the old house until maybe mid-way through 2009?
But yeah 2008 was weird. Starting year 7, so moving to a new school, and then at the end of the year having to move schools again because of the separation.
I do remember in 2009 when KRudd gave people money and mum gave my sister and I $50, and obviously back then that was a lot. I bought a DVD from Sanity hahaha. And I remember Swine Flu being in the news, but it didn’t feel as real as Covid did.

It’s fair enough not to remember, that’s a lot for a kid
